The Federation of Roeder is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 8.037 billion Roederians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roederian economy, worth a remarkable 1,010 trillion points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,676 points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roeder's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Roeder is ranked 9,694^th in the world and 312^th in the South Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 65.16 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
