The Esportivan Undertakers of Robostania is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Pelly Nicholas with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.951 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, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Innisfree. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Robostanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,437 trillion NSDS a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,013 NSDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Pelly Nicholas is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, and Innisfree's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight. 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 272,918th in the world and 37th in Esportiva for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
