The United Kingdoms of Neo-Routhengard is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Michel Nicole Demetrius with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.937 billion Routhengardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edel Garden. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Routhengardian economy, worth 876 trillion xanthousites 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 222,636 xanthousites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, glamping Routhengardians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and posing for pictures is an integral part of military training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Routhengard's national animal is the snowshoe rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Psaltery of the Heavens.

Neo-Routhengard is ranked 5,680^th in the world and 294^th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,193.6 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
