The Benevolent Dictatorship of Resoland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Patriarch with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.71 billion Resolandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thult. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Resolandian economy, worth 798 trillion Js 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, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 91,626 Js, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Resoland's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Resoland is ranked 282,317^th in the world and 377^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
