The Republic of Rowoia is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 92 million Rowoians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 6.7%.

The Rowoian economy, worth 5.44 trillion rowoian gtryes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,165 rowoian gtryes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Rowoia's national animal is the horse.

Rowoia is ranked 133,951^st in the world and 121^st in Byzantion for Most Patriotic, with 11.82 flags saluted per person per day.
