The Republic of Rooylout is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.399 billion Rooyloutians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.9%.
The thriving Rooyloutian economy, worth 124 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,805 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,677 per year while the poor average 24,907, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.
Muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and Leader is worshipped as a god. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rooylout's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Rooylout is ranked 252,396th in the world and 9,368th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 215.23 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
