The Republic of Rog Blake is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.341 billion Rog Blakeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 11.0%.

The Rog Blakean economy, worth 376 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 40,263 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rog Blake's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Rog Blake is ranked 271,380^th in the world and 1^st in Jevron for Largest Governments, scoring 7.07 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
