The Republic of Rombat is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kepler Hart with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.192 billion Rombatians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kör. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Rombatian economy, worth 546 trillion Dans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,344 Dans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rombat's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.
Rombat is ranked 46,801st in the world and 12th in Gypsy Lands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,045.91 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
