The Republic of Rombat is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kepler Hart with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.267 billion Rombatians 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 Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kör. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rombatian economy, worth 568 trillion Dans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,201 Dans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rombat's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Rombat is ranked 44,645^th in the world and 12^th in Gypsy Lands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,119.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
