“You'd do it to us if we didn't do it you first!!!”

The People's Republic of Roxtown is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 504 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Roxtown's many privately-owned prisons, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Roxtown's national animal is the gecko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the quid.

Roxtown is ranked 134th in the region and 7,212th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
