The Incorporated States of Ruplor is a mid-sized, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory vegetarianism, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 93 million Ruplorians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Healthcare and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Administration and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The all-consuming Ruplorian economy, worth 4.11 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 44,171 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,133 per year while the poor average 5,274, a ratio of 40.6 to 1.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, and safety warnings are prohibited lest they give people ideas. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ruplor's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ruplor is ranked 315,845^th in the world and 4,943^rd in eta for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -7.07 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
