The Kingdom of Rolven is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Birgitta Raske with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 20.889 billion Rolves enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trondheim. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rolvish economy, worth a remarkable 3,429 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 164,161 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rolven's national animal is the Red Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rolven is ranked 946^th in the world and 2^nd in Nordic Lands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 16,000.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
