The Esportivan Undertakers of Robostania is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Pelly Nicholas with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.577 billion robostanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Innisfree. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Robostanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,423 trillion NSDS a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,163 NSDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robostania's national animal is the Rubber Headed Peafowl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Margertism.

Robostania is ranked 66,469th in the world and 7th in Esportiva for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,675.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
