The Democratic States of The Rumz Basin is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chief Executive Tsuchii with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.529 billion Rumz Basinians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Chūsin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Rumz Basinian economy, worth 174 trillion Saekgims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 114,034 Saekgims, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 385,297 per year while the poor average 24,962, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, and the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rumz Basin's national animal is the Dhole, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is State Secularism.

The Rumz Basin is ranked 124,952^nd in the world and 2,912^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,454.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
