The United Kingdoms of Neo-Routhengard is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Michel Nicole Demetrius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.863 billion Routhengardians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edel Garden. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Routhengardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion xanthousites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 214,089 xanthousites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, voting is voluntary, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, and the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Neo-Routhengard's national animal is the snowshoe rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Psaltery of the Heavens.

Neo-Routhengard is ranked 239,020th in the world and 9,894th in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,121.7 Standard Monetary Units.
