The Empire of Rushav is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dan Elkin with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 1.646 billion Rushavians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karvin. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rushavian economy, worth 186 trillion Zyres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,296 Zyres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The well-to-do in Aesica are never on time for important appointments, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, city-slickers are jelly of all the farmland the government is giving away, and tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushav's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Rushav is ranked 104,792^nd in the world and 102^nd in Aesica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,179.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
