The Kingdom of Rouyoute is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Abner with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.575 billion Rouyouteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Rouyoutean economy, worth 51.2 trillion livres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 14,327 livres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The lactose-intolerant are force-fed cheese products with predictably gassy results, black tea is only available on the black market, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rouyoute's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sonicrism.
Rouyoute is ranked 331,559th in the world and 34th in Sonnel for Smartest Citizens, with 1.53 quips per hour.
