The Republic of Robertson is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning beaver population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.682 billion Robertsonians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 11.1%.

The strong Robertsonian economy, worth 256 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 54,688 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Robertson's national animal is the beaver.

Robertson is ranked 162,906^th in the world and 6,819^th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
