Location: The Black Riders

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Socialist Nation of Robloxer is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 5.345 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gefnar. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour, and atheists are heavily taxed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robloxer's national animal is the Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Harvestia.

Robloxer is ranked 194th in The Black Riders and 43,179th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
