The Confederation of Roberto Garcia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liberals with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 7.109 billion Robertians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Robertopia. The average income tax rate is 7.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roberto Garcian economy, worth a remarkable 1,652 trillion Pecunias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 232,471 Pecunias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and the well-to-do in The Order of the Grey Wardens are never on time for important appointments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Roberto Garcia's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Roberto Garcia is ranked 117,387th in the world and 145th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 134.95 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
