The Golden Federal Districts of Rotenaplistan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Federal Council with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.26 billion Rotenaplistanis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rotenapolis. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rotenaplistani economy, worth 174 trillion Rotenaples a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,416 Rotenaples, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, and throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rotenaplistan's national animal is the Aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aplixology.

Rotenaplistan is ranked 38,988^th in the world and 885^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 181.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
