The Socialist Council Republic of Rouerche is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.436 billion Rouercheans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coutanois. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Rouerchean economy, worth 154 trillion Taels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 63,408 Taels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them, paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, and even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rouerche's national animal is the Serow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rouerche is ranked 214,322^nd in the world and 35^th in Selene for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -3.35 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
