The Socialist Republic of Rothnia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Comrade Bulin with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.777 billion Rothnians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bulingrad. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rothnian economy, worth 210 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,658 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, to say that military robots are inclined towards violence is offensive, the government is proud to report that ten percent of all tax revenue goes to funding suspected terrorist organizations, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rothnia's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Rothnia is ranked 175,479^th in the world and 436^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Armed, with 0.25 Weapons Per Person.
