The United Kingdoms of Neo-Routhengard is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Michel Nicole Demetrius with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.013 billion Routhengardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edel Garden. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Routhengardian economy, worth 897 trillion xanthousites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 223,622 xanthousites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, skateparks can be found in every city, and sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Routhengard's national animal is the snowshoe rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Psaltery of the Heavens.

Neo-Routhengard is ranked 4,124^th in the world and 204^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 613.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
