The United Kingdoms of Neo-Routhengard is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Michel Nicole Demetrius with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.931 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 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Routhengardian economy, worth 873 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 222,295 xanthousites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, Michel Nicole Demetrius is called 'Patches' at international summits, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, and everyone seems to be pushing the buttons of AIs. 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 162,108^th in the world and 6,329^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 246.51 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
