The Somewhat Acceptable Nation of Roskaposti is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Joshua Norton XIII with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 23.46 billion Roskapostans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oest Stadt. The average income tax rate is 38.7%.
The Roskaposti economy, worth a remarkable 1,084 trillion Kips a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Retail. Average income is 46,213 Kips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
A formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, and the 'maybe not shock and awe' foreign policy initiative is showing promise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roskaposti's national animal is the hagfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Gumitheism.
Roskaposti is ranked 136,470th in the world and 1st in Sinivihreansk for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
