The Kingdom of Rodenmark is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Reenard with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.159 billion Rodenmarkians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lerheim. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Rodenmarkian economy, worth 70.5 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 60,859 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Federal Council of Rodenmark has been announced as the new Head of State, the Rodenmark Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, it's always rabbit season, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rodenmark's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic.

Rodenmark is ranked 278,868^th in the world and 685^th in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 640.57 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
