The Commonwealth of Rurban is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.79 billion Rurbanians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Rurbanian economy, worth 961 trillion sterling orichalcums a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,185 sterling orichalcums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, and it turns out you can teach cats new tricks. Crime is totally unknown. Rurban's national animal is the Bobcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rurban is ranked 40,416^th in the world and 2,092^nd in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 105.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
