The Never gonna give you up of Rickrollism is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Rick Ashley with an iron fist, and renowned for its fear of technology, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.772 billion Rickrollismians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rickroll. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rickrollismian economy, worth 493 trillion Rickrolls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,705 Rickrolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", religious classes are compulsory for all school students, bris parties are all the rage, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rickrollism's national animal is the Rick Ashley, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rickrollismity.

Rickrollism is ranked 7,498^th in the world and 1^st in Cardisdia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,621.14 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
