The Swashbuckling Union of Rotvania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hondo Ohnaka with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 3.276 billion Rotvanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florum. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Rotvanian economy, worth 501 trillion repossessed items a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 153,021 repossessed items, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and soldiers are issued comics about superheroes punching unflattering caricatures of their enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rotvania's national animal is the ice vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Piracy.

Rotvania is ranked 285,807^th in the world and 3,620^th in the West Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.37 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
