Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Socialist Federal Republic of Romondia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by General Secretary Romovsky with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.729 billion Romondians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romovgrad. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Romondian economy, worth 483 trillion The Romondian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 129,755 The Romondian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the question of 'what is General Secretary Romovsky's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and photographers have to apply for a license to photograph General Secretary Romovsky. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romondia's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Romondia is ranked 11,724^th in the world and 217^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 375.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
