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

The Holy Duchy of Rouental is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Grand Duke Roland II with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.087 billion Rouentaises have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rêverie. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.

The Rouentalian economy, worth 251 trillion Silver Lires a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,371 Silver Lires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Rêverie Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, most academic research has ground to a halt, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rouental's national animal is the Red Fox and its national religion is Seranism.

Rouental is ranked 205,378^th in the world and 3,821^st in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 9.76 average smiles per day.
