The Republic of Rododendeedron is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Supreme Magistrate Camellia Squirub with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 14.863 billion Rododendeeses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hickorydickorydooton. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rododendeedronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,947 trillion Rhodes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,045 Rhodes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign invaders are putting Rododendeedronian lab rats out of a job, dictators have dubbed Rododendeedron the land of lunatics, death is nobody's business, and an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rododendeedron's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Rododendeedron is ranked 11,280^th in the world and 7^th in Audinesca for Smartest Citizens, with 90.44 quips per hour.
