The Rogue Nation of The Rhodanian Legion is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 80 million Rhodanian Legionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 34.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Rhodanian Legionian economy, worth 4.32 trillion soliduses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,940 soliduses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rhodanian Legion's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Rhodanian Legion is ranked 241,306^th in the world and 4,503^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -12.25 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
