The Empire of Rodanj is a massive, genial nation, notable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.02 billion Rodanjians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of GrassBourn. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rodanjian economy, worth 116 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,583 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, and dessert dishes make up the Rodanjian breakfast menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rodanj's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rodanj is ranked 16,147^th in the world and 917^th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,348.7 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
