The Commonwealth of Rubian Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Matthaios Angelos with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 17.32 billion Rubians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruby. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rubian Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 7,115 trillion Angelos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 410,848 Angelos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubian Empire's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Rubian Empire is ranked 49,082nd in the world and 838th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 31.83 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
