The Republic of Roktan is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 16 million Roktanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Roktanian economy, worth 257 billion kopecks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 16,063 kopecks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, and emergency responders spend more time in the air than giving air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roktan's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Roktan is ranked 324,909^th in the world and 23^rd in Foxtopia for Highest Average Incomes, with 16,063.96 Standard Monetary Units.
