The Swashbuckling Union of Rotvania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hondo Ohnaka with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 3.191 billion Rotvanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florum. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Rotvanian economy, worth 486 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 152,470 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, tabloids coo over Hondo Ohnaka's expected child, and the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rotvania's national animal is the Kowakian kizard-monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Piracy.

Rotvania is ranked 5,581^st in the world and 86^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
