The Republic of Rotondana is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Commander with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 6.329 billion Rotondanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rotonda. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rotondanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,083 trillion Nacus a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,205 Nacus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, Information Technology facilities are being turned into Cat habitats, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rotondana's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rotondana is ranked 2,440^th in the world and 1^st in Naboru for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 721.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
