The Allied States of Rotegia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.103 billion Rotegians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lukasville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.2%.

The powerhouse Rotegian economy, worth 226 trillion Rolks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 73,016 Rolks, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, and the government's official position on invasive species is 'who cares?'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Rotegia's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Fundamentalist Christianity.

Rotegia is ranked 241,264^th in the world and 8,768^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
