The Grant of Rucca is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Medardo Santarelli with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.91 billion Ruccans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Piero di Dennillia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The very strong Ruccan economy, worth 937 trillion livroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,644 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,786 per year while the poor average 16,263, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, Rucca has designated San Piero di Dennillia as its capital city, Medardo Santarelli has just been declared ruler of Rucca in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Rucca's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Rucca's national animal is the flying squirrel, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Rucca is ranked 303,709^th in the world and 125^th in Grant for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 426.63 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
