The Holy Empire of Rofum is a small, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 26 million Rofumians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.8%.

The sizeable but inefficient Rofumian economy, worth 1.11 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,567 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rofum's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rofum is ranked 107,888^th in the world and 74^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.31 percentage of bribes refused.
