The Republic of Rombat is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Kepler Hart with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.237 billion Rombatians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kör. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rombatian economy, worth 560 trillion Dans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,303 Dans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, clumsy self-injury is a viable claim in modern compensation culture, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rombat's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Rombat is ranked 31,636^th in the world and 6^th in Gypsy Lands for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,555.02 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
