The Commonwealth of Romgard is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 164 million Romgardians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 14.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Romgardian economy, worth 7.44 trillion Popballs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,353 Popballs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, people in Romgard can die peacefully knowing that all their debts are paid, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romgard's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Romgard is ranked 59,283^rd in the world and 9^th in Oriental Constanta for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 47.2 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
