The Dictatorship of HMS Royalist is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 4.534 billion HMS Royalistians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 19.8%.

The HMS Royalistian economy, worth 233 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 51,552 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS Royalist's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HMS Royalist is ranked 150,151^st in the world and 6^th in Tanith for Safest, scoring 61.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
