The Farming Outpost of 05 rotenaplus is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.797 billion Rotenaplusian Rotenaplistanis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rotenaplusian Rotenaplistaniani economy, worth 878 trillion Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 impressive 151,503 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 05 rotenaplus's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

05 rotenaplus is ranked 246,304^th in the world and 221^st in the rotenaples for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 557.68 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
