The Federal Republic of Rordesia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 506 million Rordesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.4%.

The strong Rordesian economy, worth 25.5 trillion Dólar rodesiano D$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,336 Dólar rodesiano D$s, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Hairdressers are among those who have disappeared overnight, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, excessive gerrymandering has earned Rordesia the nickname 'The Democratic Dictatorship', and the might of the nation's air force has been deployed against people with sticks in boats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rordesia's national animal is the Gazela alpina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rordesia is ranked 112,374^th in the world and 1,298^th in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 59.09 on the Human Development Index.
