The Duke of Roland Wimbledon is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.604 billion Roland Wimbledonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Roland Wimbledonian economy, worth 414 trillion Gold royals 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 32,884 Gold royals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A major religion has been named as Roland Wimbledon's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Roland Wimbledon in an international press conference, a light breeze is enough to make Leader fold, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roland Wimbledon's national animal is the Sealion.
Roland Wimbledon is ranked 189,868th in the world and 3rd in Vair for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 15.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
