The Most Holy Empire of Routcher is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Tywin II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.053 billion Routcherians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Mary. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Routcherian economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion Crowns a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,932 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fireworks and other big bangs are forbidden during the newest public holiday, the government has become increasingly militant, the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, and the government would rather execute a hundred innocent men than let one guilty one appeal a verdict. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Routcher's national animal is the Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Church of Routcher.

Routcher is ranked 10,598th in the world and 37th in Fifth Empire for Most Developed, scoring 90.04 on the Human Development Index.
