The New Empire of The New Ruski Empire is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Nikolay III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.441 billion russians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient russian economy, worth a remarkable 1,037 trillion Imperial Rubls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 122,899 Imperial Rubls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The writing style of religious hymns often changes mid-stanza, fire and brimstone sermons are accompanied by napalm and fragmentation bombs, refugees without a PhD are sent back to where they came from, and Moscow's back alleys are rife with sausage eating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Ruski Empire's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

The New Ruski Empire is ranked 283,077^th in the world and 4,034^th in the Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
