The Holy Boundless Matriarchy of Rodmenia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aeternus Rodfather with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.184 billion Rodmenians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bašanċeaster. The average income tax rate is 18.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Rodmenian economy, worth 316 trillion Rods 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. 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 144,744 Rods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The paparazzi publicize Royal scandals with the utmost delight, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, and only native-born Rodmenians who have never left the nation are permitted to run for office. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rodmenia's national animal is the Rodasaur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Frumism.
Rodmenia is ranked 255,831st in the world and 3,327th in the West Pacific for Most Secular, with 12.73 Atheism Rate.
