The Woodhouse Sanctum of Rolands End is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Childe Roland with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.998 billion Rolands Endians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The powerhouse Rolands Endian economy, worth a remarkable 1,441 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Gambling. Average income is 65,542 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
