The Dictatorship of Room 101 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.334 billion Room 101ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Room 101ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,048 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,967 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Room 101's national animal is the Watcher, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Room 101 is ranked 263,681^st in the world and 10^th in 1984 for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 25,591.22 Standard Monetary Units.
