The Routien Commonwealth of Comrade Commisar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by High Admiral Norman Walker with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 27.392 billion Routiers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Welfare and Social Policy not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Routié. The average income tax rate is 3.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Routien economy, worth a remarkable 5,664 trillion Silver Coins a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 206,806 Silver Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, and the nation's countrysides are littered with landmines due to ongoing family disputes. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Comrade Commisar's national animal is the Northern Killing Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is North Lands Traditionalism.

Comrade Commisar is ranked 41,085th in the world and 6th in Valkia for Most Stationary, with 1,092.39764808728 days.
