“In each other we trust”

The United States of Robidia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Jailor Vivian with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.607 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Defence are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Retail and Beef-Based Agriculture.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Robidia's radio stations, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robidia's national animal is the cougar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the buck.

Robidia is ranked 2122nd in the region and 45,768th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
