The Democratic States of Rjokland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 220 million Rjoklandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Rjoklandian economy, worth 2.41 trillion Djernias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 10,973 Djernias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, the little guy plays a big role in Rjoklandian politics, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Rjokland's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rjokland's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rjokland is ranked 99,121st in the world and 141st in United States of America for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
