The Friendly Christian Republic of Russila is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ross Lee Hickman III with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 5.166 billion Russilans 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 Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rossland. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Russilan economy, worth 650 trillion Russilan Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,008 Russilan Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove', the doctor has cold hands, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russila's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Russila is ranked 244,155^th in the world and 4,928^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.77 kickbacks per hour.
