The State of Roxytannia is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, national health service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 46.405 billion Roxytannians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 79.1%.

The strong Roxytannian economy, worth a remarkable 2,116 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 45,601 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, young adults are stepping outside for the first time in ages after video games were recently banned, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Westminster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roxytannia's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Roxytannia is ranked 170,348^th in the world and 1^st in Roxytannia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,641.71 Standard Monetary Units.
