The Commonwealth of Roegerland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Harold De Vries with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.696 billion Amerikaaners are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Henryksburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Roegerlandian economy, worth 676 trillion Orits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 77,805 Orits, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

United Reformed Christian Church has been named as Roegerland's national religion, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Roegerland's national animal is the Grootbok, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is United Reformed Christian Church.

Roegerland is ranked 103,222nd in the world and 3rd in South Africa for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
