The Fallen Empire of Roberdian is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Arcana Astavia with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 12.457 billion RBS are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Askort. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roberdianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,717 trillion Kafkas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,858 Kafkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, no one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and purported secret military bases are dismissed by Arcana Astavia to be highly-advanced toilet factories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roberdian's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hellenism.

Roberdian is ranked 38,831^st in the world and 218^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 55.68 kickbacks per hour.
