The Terrible Swift Sword of RoP-1 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 21.891 billion RoP-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong RoP-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,084 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,523 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Governments opposing RoP-1 are beset by rebels, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, and the RoP-1ian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RoP-1's national animal is the Laughing swordfish, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
RoP-1 is ranked 26,134th in the world and 1st in Kolkata for Most Stationary, with 1,441.88066052912 days.
