The Grand Duchy of Roastedchestnuts is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 12 million Roastedchestnutsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 45.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Roastedchestnutsian economy, worth 378 billion chestnuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 31,480 chestnuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years, and it's a comma comma comma comma comma rebellion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roastedchestnuts's national animal is the oak tree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Roastedchestnuts is ranked 171,217^th in the world and 1^st in land of food for Smartest Citizens, with 27.19 quips per hour.
