The Democratic Republic of Robril is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Saleet al-Mostafa with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.331 billion Robrilians 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 Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antakya. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Robrilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,705 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 138,341 Dinars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 602,281 per year while the poor average 20,112, a ratio of 29.9 to 1.

School guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education, adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, and corrective labour camps either end political dissent or kill the dissenters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robril's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Robril is ranked 12,081^st in the world and 7^th in Middle East for Most Corrupt Governments, with 138.89 kickbacks per hour.
