The Democratic Republic of Rods from god is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices. The hard-working population of 3.971 billion Rods from godians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19.1%.

The Rods from godian economy, worth 191 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,306 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, organ donation is compulsory, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, and orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rods from god's national animal is the Kitsune.

Rods from god is ranked 118,108^th in the world and 82^nd in Alliance of Storage Power for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
