		It is by the critic and playwright John Spurling, husband of the biographer Hilary Spurling.
		Ruritania had become a Soviet satellite republic (Queen Flavia was killed in 1939 resisting the German invasion), but with the collapse of communism the country became independent again.
		But it is quite amusing to read of Ruritania again, and to meet characters clearly descended from the originals: King Karl's henchman, for instance, is Vladek Tarlenheim, and the commander of the Ruritanian Air Force is General Rischenheim.

		Ruritania is a rural kingdom well-known to those who read Murray Rothbard's Ethics of Liberty.
		To built up and maintain the system, in the first place it was necessary for the ruling class of Ruritania to organise the political lives of the peasants in a specific way: The peasants should get the feeling that they couldn't do without the state any longer.
		The peasants of Ruritania got adopted to live with the hypocrisy of their rulers because they calculated that changing the rules would imply risks.

		Ruritania is rich in picturesque scenery, fierce in nobility, valiant in spirit.
		And while the better-known novels concern who is to be king of Ruritania, this book is concerned with the question of who is to be the romantic partner of the kingdom’s famously beautiful princess, the sister of King Rudolf.
		Ruritania, too, has its limits; we would not choose to live in a world of duels and dukes.

		Now assume that Ruritania imports 7 cars at $6 per car and uses its remaining resources to produce 58 bushels of wheat, again at $1 per bushel.

		In the case of Ruritania, protectionist policies increase the price of foreign cars to $8 per car and at this higher price only 6 cars are imported into Ruritania.

	To the victor goes the truth
		Ruritania is militaristic, despotic and is fueled by racism and hatred.
		So Utopia sends it airplanes over the skies of Ruritania and bombs its cities into rubble, killing civilians by the tens of thousands, destroying much infrastructure, power plants, water facilities, dams, railways, airports, ports, bridges, roads, and creating famine in the land.
		Further, according to a plethora of other journalists, academics and politicians, nattering away in the media, Utopia should also be reproved because it attacked Ruritania without provocation, and, in the conduct of its war, it did not exercise "appropriate restraint", or adhere to international conventions on the conduct of warfare.

	Ruritania
		There was once a far away land called Ruritania, and in Ruritania there was a strange phenomenon -- all the trees that grew in Ruritainia were transparent.
		Ruritania had banned this practice in spite of its expedience.
		Torture was, after all, far more efficient than the old methods, and had been recently instituted to stop the recent wave of people thinking obscene thoughts about tomatoes, which Dorothy Quisling noted was one of the major problems of the new age of plenty and joy.

	The Return to Sound Money - Mises Institute
		All residents of Ruritania were made to accept any amount of paper rurs as the equivalent of the same nominal amount of gold rurs.

		A specter that worries many advocates of foreign-exchange control is the assumption that the Ruritanians engaged in export trade could leave the foreign-exchange proceeds of their business abroad and thus deprive their country of a part of its foreign exchange.

		Although Ruritania does not have a long tradition of democracy, the present Government has been democratically elected and new elections are due in Ruritania in approximately nine months’ time.
		Ruritania is currently negotiating for membership of the European Union and hopes to join in about 2010.
		The reasons for this proposal are to benefit from the low labour cost currently experienced in Ruritania and to establish a presence in the region, partly in order to deny the markets to your company’s global competitors.

	TCS Daily - Why Is Government Getting So Big?
		To understand why, consider the imaginary Democratic Republic of Ruritania, in which there is only one political issue -- the size of government -- and two political parties, the Right and the Left.
		Voters in Ruritania are ranked on a political preference scale from 0 (small government) to 100 (big government).
		Ruritania, of course, is not a faraway country; it is a stylized model of US politics in the recent past (with an apocryphal Kerry-victory scenario included for variety).

	Chapter X. The Detection of Stereotypes
		Now it happened in one nation that the war party which was in control of the foreign office, the high command, and most of the press, had claims on the territory of several of its neighbors.
		For each piece they invoked that stereotype which some one or more of their allies found it difficult to resist, because that ally had claims for which it hoped to find approval by the use of this same stereotype.
		Ruritania demanded it to complete her natural geographical frontier.

		If you are looking for gift ideas for bookworms then our books Christmas store has thousands of titles to choose from.
		This is an astonishingly well-informed book that has been written in a highly readable and often amusing manner.

	The Flâneur - Ruritania
		In the late 1970's a mixed bag of the outré and outrageous gave birth to the idea that one need not necessarily be the heir of a Grand Ducal title in order to experience a life of Larks tongues stuffed with foie gras and an elegant sufficiency of Bollinger.
		The entirely natural democratic predilections of all who inhabit the sun-washed shores of the Mersey ensured that this germ of an idea should be expressed in a suitably original and innovative fashion: the (almost faithful) recreation of the glittering 19th century setting of Anthony Hope's classic 1894 tales of Ruritania, with a difference.
