“In each other we trust”

The United States of Robidia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jailor Vivian with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.125 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Defence are secondary priorities. 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 2309th in the region and 48,094th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
