The Federation of Romanoddle Republic is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Alan Dugald with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.728 billion Romanoddlians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romanopolis. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Romanoddlian economy, worth 898 trillion Romadollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,926 Romadollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, a flying elephant and President Alan Dugald share the same nickname, and the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romanoddle Republic's national animal is the Romanoddlian Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Romanoddle Republic is ranked 155,596^th in the world and 2,885^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 559.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
