The Socialist Republic of Rothnia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Comrade Bulin with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.389 billion Rothnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bulingrad. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Rothnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,693 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 Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 201,865 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and the world still seems flat to some people in space. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rothnia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Rothnia is ranked 3,158^th in the world and 64^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,967.86 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
