The Federation of Robigo is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.385 billion Robiginians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Aldrinea. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Robiginian economy, worth 115 trillion cyons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,140 cyons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,545 per year while the poor average 18,935, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

A milk bath costs more than bathing in money, wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, the leaders of Robigo are given the nod by their predecessors, and public intoxication has decreased ever since fraternities were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robigo's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Robigo is ranked 72,288th in the world and 5th in Orion Spur for Largest Black Market, with 5.66 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
