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

The Armed Republic of Rsoertemehteota is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 8.427 billion Rsoertemehteotans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Rsoertemehteotan economy, worth 300 trillion Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,666 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Rsoertemehteota in an international press conference and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rsoertemehteota's national animal is the Eagle.

Rsoertemehteota is ranked 92,468^th in the world and 1,451^st in Artificial Solar System for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,017.3 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
