The Theocracy of Rophe is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Elena Deyesu with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, avowedly heterosexual populace, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 1.679 billion Ropheans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achdut. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rophean economy, worth 136 trillion oratas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,581 oratas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, the government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, public shaming is the bedrock of Rophean society, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rophe's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Rophe is ranked 298,267^th in the world and 291^st in Christians for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.44 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
