The Commonwealth of Roenland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Worker Councils with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.258 billion Roenlandians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goetheburg. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roenlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,339 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 93,968 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Worker Councils is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Roenland, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, and the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roenland's national animal is the roe deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Roenland is ranked 250,780^th in the world and 5,462^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Authoritarian, with 354.73 milliStalins.
