The Kingdom of Rodorn is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 844 million Rodornians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rodonsburgh. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Rodornian economy, worth 19.6 trillion crowns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, extremely specialized black market in Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 23,224 crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rodorn's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rodorn is ranked 93,983^rd in the world and 168^th in Concord for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,009.21 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
