The Commonwealth of Rubian Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Matthaios Angelos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 16.196 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 6,406 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 395,580 Angelos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most pop videos prominently feature the Rubian Empirean flag, billions of Angelos are spent to take high-quality photos of the Hawk Nebula, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. 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 744^th in the world and 28^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5,761.46 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
