The Unleashing of The Revenge of Rover is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Butch with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.456 billion Roverians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
