The Song and Strut of A Rooster is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 5.778 billion Roosterians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The Roosterian economy, worth 237 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 41,029 marks, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, people are always able to look each other in the eye, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and the barter economy has taken over as the mark has become worthless. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. A Rooster's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

A Rooster is ranked 146,263^rd in the world and 13^th in Endless Highway for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.19 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
