The Fiefdom of New Rus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Harold-George Phish with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.235 billion Ruzians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stiltonston. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Ruzian economy, worth 157 trillion Great Emerald Coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,477 Great Emerald Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office, modern New Ruzian art is so hot right now, large sections of New Rus have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, and traumatized ex-ambassadors seek treatment for their "desk dissociation". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Rus's national animal is the Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cowism.

New Rus is ranked 131,478^th in the world and 6,333^rd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
