The Republic of Theodore Roosevelt Island is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its closed borders, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.606 billion Theodore Roosevelt Islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Theodore Roosevelt Islandian economy, worth 314 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 120,758 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Parents are shocked to find out that having kids costs money, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, a flying elephant and Leader share the same nickname, and the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theodore Roosevelt Island's national animal is the NPS, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Theodore Roosevelt Island is ranked 36,439^th in the world and 609^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 34.36 flags saluted per person per day.
