The Swashbuckling Union of Rotvania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hondo Ohnaka with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 3.294 billion Rotvanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florum. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Rotvanian economy, worth 506 trillion repossessed items a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 153,906 repossessed items, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rotvania's national animal is the ice vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Piracy.

Rotvania is ranked 3,742^nd in the world and 72^nd in the West Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 228.46 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
