The Armed Republic of Rousannas is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 47.236 billion Rousannasians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rousannas City. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Rousannasian economy, worth an astonishing 16,815 trillion chiasmatas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 355,998 chiasmatas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, beagle populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rousannas's national animal is the beagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rousannas is ranked 3,460^th in the world and 162^nd in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 97.12 Effective Tax Rate.
