The Flavorful State of Rugai is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Salamander Man with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.164 billion Gais are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gai economy, worth a remarkable 1,429 trillion homosexuals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 100,900 homosexuals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rugai's national animal is the potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rugai is ranked 27,016^th in the world and 3^rd in The Meme Must Go On for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
