The Swashbuckling Union of Rotvania

“Speak softly, and drive a big tank.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Swashbuckling Union of Rotvania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Hondo Ohnaka with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 3.253 billion Rotvanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florum. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Rotvanian economy, worth 493 trillion repossessed items 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 151,808 repossessed items, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An inkwell of goats' blood is supplied on school desks across the nation, Hondo Ohnaka's personal home is one of the West Pacific's most notorious party destinations, Hondo Ohnaka's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rotvania's national animal is the ice vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Piracy.

Rotvania is ranked 4,591^st in the world and 68^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 19,832.06 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
