The Dominion of Root is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Guru with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 29.71 billion Rootians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codebase. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rootian economy, worth a remarkable 5,183 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 174,480 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, and military pilots jettison listening devices as chaff to confuse enemy missiles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Root's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is CodeGods.

Root is ranked 3,300^th in the world and 1^st in The Cuckoos Egg for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 13,926.92 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
