The Holy Empire of Rousay is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 503 million Orcadians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirkwall. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rousayian economy, worth 56.1 trillion Bottlecaps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 111,484 Bottlecaps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, elections have recently been reintroduced to Rousay, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, and unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rousay's national animal is the Tammie Norrie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rousay is ranked 96,881^st in the world and 1^st in Orkneyjar for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,892.58 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
