The Federal Republic of Royanic is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 135 million Royicians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The sizeable but inefficient Royanician economy, worth 7.86 trillion Sterons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,233 Sterons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, and parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Royanic's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Royanic is ranked 127,707^th in the world and 547^th in Carcassonne for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,137.63 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
