The Holy Empire of Rousay is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 508 million Orcadians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirkwall. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rousayian economy, worth 56.9 trillion Bottlecaps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 111,962 Bottlecaps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

This summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, third world countries are rich in "I Love Kirkwall" t-shirts, and randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rousay's national animal is the Tammie Norrie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rousay is ranked 203,901^st in the world and 1^st in Orkneyjar for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.59 percentage of bribes refused.
