The United Kingdoms of Neo-Routhengard is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Michel Nicole Demetrius with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.994 billion Routhengardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edel Garden. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Routhengardian economy, worth 891 trillion xanthousites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 223,114 xanthousites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Michel Nicole Demetrius's wardrobe, the Neo-Routhengard Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Routhengard's national animal is the snowshoe rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Psaltery of the Heavens.

Neo-Routhengard is ranked 10,315th in the world and 513th in Balder for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.21 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
