The United Socialist States of Roulix is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Franz Von Strucker with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.189 billion Roulixians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roulixian economy, worth a remarkable 1,491 trillion Roulinks 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 105,140 Roulinks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roulix's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Roulix is ranked 283,679^th in the world and 3^rd in The Great Red Union for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.59 kickbacks per hour.
