The United Republic of Rostokia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Darius Bulawayo with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 9.397 billion Rostokians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zanderberg. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rostokian economy, worth a remarkable 1,258 trillion Ronds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,974 Ronds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, the true length of the coastline of Rostokia may never be measured, facial disfigurement is a leading cause of supervillainy, and Darius Bulawayo's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rostokia's national animal is the Springbok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Rostokia is ranked 8,641^st in the world and 470^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,820.23 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
