The Democratic Republic of Royerpool is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 928 million Royerishes hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The all-consuming Royerpoolian economy, worth 79.0 trillion Royer Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 85,115 Royer Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, respect is something that is typically forced rather than earned in Royerpool, Royerpool City's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Royerpool's national animal is the British Shorthair.

Royerpool is ranked 139,759^th in the world and 6,310^th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 10.79 flags saluted per person per day.
