The Breakfast food of Romelette is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.995 billion Romeletteans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.5%.
The thriving Romelettean economy, worth 469 trillion Shiny Green Things a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,143 Shiny Green Things, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,015 per year while the poor average 10,838, a ratio of 25.4 to 1.
The government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, the government violently suppresses separatist movements, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Romelette's national animal is the Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Romelette is ranked 42,490th in the world and 530th in Birb for Highest Economic Output, with 469 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
