The Arristtiae Commonwealth of Roguepalace is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Head Chamberwoman Skoria with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.269 billion Korshians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korshaw. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Korshian economy, worth 118 trillion Rakevs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 93,514 Rakevs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, the big red machine has ground to a halt, and for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roguepalace's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Willsteinism.

Roguepalace is ranked 41,287^th in the world and 153^rd in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 64.71 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
