The Republic of Rebruchic is a small, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 45 million Rebruchicians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Rebruchician economy, worth 2.87 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,772 baht, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 354,642 per year while the poor average 5,742, a ratio of 61.8 to 1.

All work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, former state leaders include a TV comic and a cowboy actor, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, and Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rebruchic's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rebruchic is ranked 271,895^th in the world and 716^th in Horizon for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 38.06 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
