The Republic of Rublex is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Bob with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.972 billion Rublexians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rublexapilos. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rublexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion Digicoins a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,858 Digicoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rublex's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is REEEE.

Rublex is ranked 240,610^th in the world and 5,673^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.48 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
