The Federation of New Rustonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.013 billion New Rustonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aran. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Rustonian economy, worth 201 trillion Shaws a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,316 Shaws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on New Rustonian selfishness, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Rustonia's national animal is the Bulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Rustonia is ranked 231,363^rd in the world and 193^rd in Aesica for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,581.3 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
