The Imperial Nation of Roiko is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The British with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.018 billion roiks are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of rook. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming roikan economy, worth 114 trillion dong a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 112,172 dong, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, the backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, prohibition has allowed a Maxtopian immigrant known only as "Nipples" to establish an illicit breast milk syndicate, and The British's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roiko's national animal is the mosquito, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Roiko is ranked 259,329^th in the world and 9,201^st in the West Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.9 crimes per hour.
