The Rogue Nation of The RatRoaches is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Alpha RatRoach with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, state-planned economy, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.893 billion RatRoachesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of RatRoachtopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.6%.

The very strong RatRoachesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,994 trillion Shiny Things a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,865 Shiny Things, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 647,388 per year while the poor average 10,906, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, and families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. The RatRoaches's national animal is the Ratroach, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is RatRoachism.

The RatRoaches is ranked 168,075^th in the world and 7^th in Ozzy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 569.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
