The Oppressed Peoples of Rodalth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Captain Ahoth Sanna with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.237 billion Rodalthians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Administration, although Environment, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerton. The average income tax rate is 8.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Rodalthian economy, worth 412 trillion Usamis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,701 Usamis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Rodalthians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, rumor has it that Captain Ahoth Sanna has won three lotteries in a row, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rodalth's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Rodalth is ranked 36,029th in the world and 1st in Grand Avalon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 60.4 kickbacks per hour.
