The Federation of Romanoddle Republic is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Alan Dugald with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.838 billion Romanoddlians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adreal. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Romanoddlian economy, worth 905 trillion Romadollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,025 Romadollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A flying elephant and President Alan Dugald share the same nickname, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Romanoddle Republic's national animal is the Romanoddlian Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Romanoddle Republic is ranked 12,841^st in the world and 282^nd in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 358.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
