The Federation of Roicale is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 188 million Roicalan are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Roicalean economy, worth 2.81 trillion SMEUS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 14,923 SMEUS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roicale's national animal is the Sparrow 'Roicale', which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Roicale is ranked 229,342^nd in the world and 40^th in Northern Utopia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 728.84 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
