The Fiefdom of HMS-Rodney is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.612 billion HMS-Rodneyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient HMS-Rodneyian economy, worth 130 trillion runes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,165 runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The same 3612 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, the dartboard at the HMS-Rodneyian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS-Rodney's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

HMS-Rodney is ranked 128,218th in the world and 344th in Remembrance for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 40.93 Effective Tax Rate.
