The Rogue Nation of Readrover is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by None Appointed with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.502 billion Readroverians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sendover. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Readroverian economy, worth 902 trillion Humans a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail. Average income is 51,590 Humans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

None Appointed's pleasure palace epitomizes corruption, ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, and underground copulation clubs have sprung up in major cities. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Readrover's national animal is the Novarova, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rova Worship.

Readrover is ranked 31,140th in the world and 1,638th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 78 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
