The Republic of Rupika is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President pickman with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.25 billion Rupikans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of wheatenhaven. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Rupikan economy, worth 357 trillion shkults a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,158 shkults, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, "Surfin' RR" is a hit, and politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rupika's national animal is the the plains bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is orthodox-christian.
Rupika is ranked 199,199th in the world and 1,978th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 48.31068435892 days.
