RogueXV

The Oppressed Peoples of RogueXV is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

A recent law has banned homes from having any more than one wheel, a government program is underway to revitalize RogueXV's beaches, crooks and people with too many kids are being kicked out of the country, and the arms industry is strictly regulated. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RogueXV's national animal is the cricket, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nalpo.
