The Fallen Empire of Roberdian is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arcana Astavia with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 12.515 billion RBS 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Askort. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roberdianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,707 trillion Kafkas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,472 Kafkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, no one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and purported secret military bases are dismissed by Arcana Astavia to be highly-advanced toilet factories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roberdian's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hellenism.

Roberdian is ranked 23,336^th in the world and 352^nd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 256.7 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
