The Commonwealth of Rucklanda is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 293 million Rucklandian Rucklandiators enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.
The very strong Rucklandan economy, worth 18.8 trillion Rucklandian Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 64,170 Rucklandian Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,365 per year while the poor average 16,242, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.
Fresh food is a thing of the past due to onerous testing standards, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, people talk about things being better when men were men, and a rash of recently-elected candidates have begun to push Bigtopia-friendly policies. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rucklanda's national animal is the sparrows and wolves.
Rucklanda is ranked 155,222nd in the world and 119th in Empire of Great Britain for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 92.15 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
