The Imperial State of Great Robertia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Robert Peter I with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.739 billion Robertians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Robertsburg. The average income tax rate is 91.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Robertian economy, worth 449 trillion rubyns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,083 rubyns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
The newest shade developed by Great Robertia's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Robertia's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Imperial Cult.
Great Robertia is ranked 175,488th in the world and 934th in Europe for Most Politically Free, scoring 38.67 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
