The State of Old Roy is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 30.757 billion Old Royians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The Old Royian economy, worth a remarkable 1,329 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Average income is 43,222 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Old Roy's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, education and welfare spending are on the rise, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Old Roy has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Roy's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
