The Königreich of The Ruby Ranch Republic is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Königin Erissa I von Helstein-Schau with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.598 billion Rubans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warschau. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruby Ranch Republician economy, worth a remarkable 3,752 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 213,226 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Life expectancy is way down but posthuman perfectionism is way up, thousands of former pirates can be found peddling knockoff products in flea markets, traditional vegetarians are fuming over the introduction of vat-grown meat to the menu, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing Königin Erissa I von Helstein-Schau's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ruby Ranch Republic's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

The Ruby Ranch Republic is ranked 58,245^th in the world and 40^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 585.22 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
