The Socialist Union of Republics of Rotohsk is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jan fon-Shlais with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.193 billion Rotohskans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Molenky. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Rotohskan economy, worth 107 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,992 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rotohsk's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rotohsk is ranked 858th in the world and 1st in Hive for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 16,986.44 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
