The Democratic Republic of Roano is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 399 million Roanoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roto. The average income tax rate is 60.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Roanoan economy, worth 16.3 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,829 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roano's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Roano is ranked 162,438^th in the world and 2,183^rd in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 54.73 on the Human Development Index.
