The Federation of Robigo is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.318 billion Robiginians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Aldrinea. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.6%.

The all-consuming Robiginian economy, worth 106 trillion cyons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,604 cyons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,251 per year while the poor average 18,981, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, people who have lived their entire lives in Robigo are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robigo's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Robigo is ranked 72,344th in the world and 4th in Orion Spur for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,394.35 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
