The Dictatorship of The Roach Emperor is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 62 million Roach Emperorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Roach Emperorian economy, worth 1.15 trillion Ahns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 18,564 Ahns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Roach Emperor's national animal is the Roach.

The Roach Emperor is ranked 289,665^th in the world and 15^th in Regionate for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -38.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
