The Empire of Rushav is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dan Elkin with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 1.738 billion Rushavians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karvin. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rushavian economy, worth 189 trillion Zyres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,007 Zyres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Back-alley holistic doctors carry crystals in long trench coats, ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, the arms industry is strictly regulated, and angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushav's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Rushav is ranked 183,448^th in the world and 172^nd in Aesica for Highest Drug Use, scoring 117.05 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
