The Holy Empire of Roccanova is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 108 million Roccanovans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Roccanovan economy, worth 5.37 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 49,755 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, nude art is becoming wildly popular, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roccanova's national animal is the Jaguar.

Roccanova is ranked 175,110^th in the world and 138^th in Kantrias for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 532.96 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
