The Slightly Socialist State of Rokdoverstan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Comrade Sustainer Harap III with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.243 billion Rokdoverstanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Negru Voda. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rokdoverstani economy, worth 466 trillion New Tivas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 109,886 New Tivas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, fearful citizens watch their every move as does their government, hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, and refugees without a PhD are sent back to where they came from. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rokdoverstan's national animal is the Ermine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protochronism.

Rokdoverstan is ranked 119,239th in the world and 4,963rd in Balder for Safest, scoring 73.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
