The Mysterious Black Hole of Roless is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The High Queen of Roless with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.412 billion Rolessians 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 is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atchta. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Rolessian economy, worth a remarkable 5,688 trillion Rezzats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 498,491 Rezzats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, cute fluffy little The High Queens of Roless are increasingly popular exotic pets, new urban roads are threatening city parks, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roless's national animal is the Funky badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Funkyism.

Roless is ranked 62,840^th in the world and 143^rd in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,811.63 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
