The Free Land of Rubeck is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by don benedetto with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.744 billion Rubeckians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of altavista. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Rubeckian economy, worth 222 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,458 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, all tariffs have been abolished, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime is totally unknown. Rubeck's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is taoism.
Rubeck is ranked 153,134th in the world and 50th in Flanelistan for Safest, scoring 62.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
