The State of Rothermeer is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.438 billion Rothermeerians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The powerhouse Rothermeerian economy, worth 664 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 29,615 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 104,828 per year while the poor average 6,040, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Rothermeer has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Rothermeer's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Rothermeer is ranked 267,196^th in the world and 9^th in Luxembourg City for Lowest Crime Rates, with 39.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
