The Regne Got of Rokolyev is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rex Gothorum Hélio de Vasconcelos with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.605 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viseu. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rokolyev's national animal is the Iberian Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Purity of Action, and its currency is the Chindaswinth.

Rokolyev is ranked 178th in United Kingdom and 122,417th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -23 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
