The Mysterious Black Hole of Roless is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The High Queen of Roless with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, vat-grown people, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.357 billion Rolessians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atchta. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Rolessian economy, worth a remarkable 5,708 trillion Rezzats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 502,619 Rezzats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, you gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roless's national animal is the Funky badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Funkyism.

Roless is ranked 293,916^th in the world and 331^st in Forest for Nicest Citizens, with 0.08 average smiles per day.
