The Friendly Christian Republic of Russila is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ross Lee Hickman III with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.345 billion Russilans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rossland. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Russilan economy, worth a remarkable 1,592 trillion Russilan Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 153,974 Russilan Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', raccoons are plump and satiated, guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Russila, and Ross Lee Hickman III's support among single young men has drooped slightly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russila's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Russila is ranked 325,205^th in the world and 4,598^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
