The Commonwealth of Romgard is a small, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 45 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 Defense, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The Romgardian economy, worth 2.20 trillion Popballs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,848 Popballs, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tax assessment offices double as polling stations, former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Romgard's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Romgard is ranked 245,112^th in the world and 24^th in Oriental Constanta for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.56 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
