The International State of ROLASS is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President-Emperor Rolass with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 27.67 billion Rolassias 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reda. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rolassian economy, worth a remarkable 9,751 trillion Slavic Zloties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 352,432 Slavic Zloties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and ill and injured visitors in ROLASS have to walk it off until they return home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ROLASS's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Rolassian Roman Catholicism.

ROLASS is ranked 293,436^th in the world and 5^th in New World Alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
