The Königreich of The Ruby Ranch Republic is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by König Valek I Wilhelm Helstein-Schau with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.815 billion Rubans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warschau. The average income tax rate is 92.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruby Ranch Republician economy, worth a remarkable 2,679 trillion marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 209,067 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Waste is frequently shipped to other countries, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ruby Ranch Republic's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

The Ruby Ranch Republic is ranked 285,212^th in the world and 11^th in Azure Watester Federation for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
