The Mysterious black holə of Roless is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the funky badger of greatness with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.01 billion Rolessians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ichasa. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rolessian economy, worth a remarkable 1,491 trillion Rezzats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 297,662 Rezzats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened, it takes all playtime for children to locate their friends among two hundred identical heads, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roless's national animal is the Funky badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is funkyism.

Roless is ranked 234,382^nd in the world and 385^th in Forest for Fattest Citizens, with 4.63 Obesity Rate.
