The Playing of Role is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rolly with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning horse population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.617 billion Roleans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The large, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roly. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.5%.

The very strong Rolean economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion Roles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Tourism. Average income is 42,946 Roles, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Roly Times is sold out, education and welfare spending are on the rise, Role has designated Roly as its capital city, and Rolly has just been declared ruler of Role in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Role's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roleplaying.

Role is ranked 122,226^th in the world and 3^rd in Isles of the Ironborne for Safest, scoring 74.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
