The Republic of Roktan is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 26 million Roktanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Roktanian economy, worth 436 billion kopecks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 16,763 kopecks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, the government considers the rising number of McRonald's fast food restaurants to be great progress, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and class boundaries start and end with the firmness of local tomatoes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roktan's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Roktan is ranked 317,732^nd in the world and 22^nd in Foxtopia for Most Developed, scoring 45.68 on the Human Development Index.
