The Empire of Ruztips is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Enforcer with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.522 billion Ruztipsians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sicurez. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruztipsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,579 trillion Rutzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 210,036 Rutzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the government is buying children's books by the thousands, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and religious citizens are closely monitored for signs of self-harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruztips's national animal is the Sea barnacle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ruztips is ranked 326,696^th in the world and 182^nd in Declansburg for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.51 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
