The Psycho Emus and Eshays of StrayaRoos Barrier Islands is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Glorius Emu and King Eshay LXIX with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.469 billion Roosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duomji. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Roo economy, worth 553 trillion EmuCoins 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 101,270 EmuCoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, the army insists there is nothing gay about men in uniforms rolling in the mud, and foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. StrayaRoos Barrier Islands's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Emuism.

StrayaRoos Barrier Islands is ranked 73,570^th in the world and 6^th in absolute stupidity for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
