The Colony of Rowbuxland

“Pergo et Perago”

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

The Colony of Rowbuxland is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.647 billion Rowbuxlandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.8%.

The powerhouse Rowbuxlandian economy, worth 512 trillion spices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,110 spices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Preservative-laden Rowbuxlandian cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, guns don't kill people — heroes do, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rowbuxland's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rowbuxland is ranked 174,847^th in the world and 459^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
