The Republic of Rodina is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Raimond Bondar with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.497 billion Rodinans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nowogrod. The average income tax rate is 9.2%.

The Rodinan economy, worth 735 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 58,816 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Rodina has designated Nowogrod as its capital city, Raimond Bondar has just been declared ruler of Rodina in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Rodina's national religion. Crime is almost non-existent. Rodina's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Rodina is ranked 101,356^th in the world and 11^th in Northumbria for Most Beautiful Environments, with 564.07 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
