The Holy Empire of New Ruach is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 257 million New Ruachians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eden. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish New Ruachian economy, worth 8.81 trillion silver pieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 34,268 silver pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The National Archive now covers square miles of warehouses in order to accommodate its new stone tablets system, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Eden, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and the government records billions of hours of footage of trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ruach's national animal is the ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Ruach is ranked 308,788^th in the world and 701^st in Horizon for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 10,794.72 Standard Monetary Units.
