The Federation of Ropi Strienty is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kim Justin-Un with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.122 billion Ropi Strientians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of P-Gyang. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ropi Strientyian economy, worth 189 trillion KPWS 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 black market in Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. 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 89,434 KPWS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Ropi Strienty's national animal is the Cheollima, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is God or Kim Justin-Un.

Ropi Strienty is ranked 304,871^st in the world and 5,458^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 57 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
