It's super made-up. Converted to USD it's uhhh... $20 with 34 zeros behind it. A quadrillion piles of a quadrillion bucks each would still be less than 1% of what they're asking for lol

So on a serious note that translates to about 20 decillion dollars. Aka 20 billion trillion trillion dollars. For reference the entire global GDP is about 110 trillion dollars. So Russia is asking about 200 million trillion times as much as the entire global GDP

How much is that in Schrute bucks?

So 2,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollary-doos.

Totally reasonable.

The grandmother of a friend always used to say - wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one is filled first.
