The Federation of Roeder is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 8.233 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roederian economy, worth 981 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 common. Average income is an impressive 119,161 points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Roeder, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 174,837^th in the world and 2,335^th in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 55.43 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
