The Federation of Roeder is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 7.935 billion Roederians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Roederian economy, worth 969 trillion points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,208 points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new one point coin also makes a handy throwing-star, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, and Leader isn't a national brand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roeder's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Roeder is ranked 14,490^th in the world and 351^st in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,170.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
