The Free Lands of Robbonia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Rob with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 21.072 billion Robbonians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londonium. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Robbonian economy, worth a remarkable 8,087 trillion Robbos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 383,826 Robbos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, and no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor. Crime is totally unknown. Robbonia's national animal is the Purple Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Robbonia is ranked 23,323^rd in the world and 115^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,532.2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
