The Union of Rondenia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prince Boban with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, avant-garde cinema, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.03 billion Rondenians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korell. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Rondenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,783 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 188,885 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rondenia's national animal is the Common chinchilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Rondenia is ranked 283,674^th in the world and 35^th in Greater Ixnay for Nicest Citizens, with 0.31 average smiles per day.
