The Liberal Monarchy of Rushkaville is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Joseph Conrad with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, conspicuous electricity pylons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.031 billion Rushkavilleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rushkaville City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rushkavillean economy, worth an astonishing 16,462 trillion Fun Bucks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 365,584 Fun Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, graffiti graces every city's streets, and schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushkaville's national animal is the Turky Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Rushkaville is ranked 333,165th in the world and 17,537th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -31.32 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
