The Democratic Republic of Roano is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 517 million Roanoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roto. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Roanoan economy, worth 20.7 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,098 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, the government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roano's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Roano is ranked 120,974^th in the world and 1,752^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,472.28 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
