Etymology
The name "Rogolnika" came from the Ridollani word "rogolni" which means "land". The prefix -ka was added by the Ingerish to assign a 'collective name' for the land of their subjects, so the name became Rogolnika. Since the land was settled by three groups: the Ridollanians, Sontriannis and Romaldegans, the Ingerish colonists did not want to divide them and name the land to a specific group of people, so they chose a neutral name for the land. They realized that it would be difficult to rule their subjects if they are divided.
Geography
Rogolnika has an area of approximately 110,000 km2. It is bordered by AR052a to the north, AR047 to the west, AR061 to the south, and the Drull Free State and Gulf of Archanta to the east. The country is divided into four geographical regions. The mountainous areas are situated at the western and southern region, while the central areas are densely forested. The northern part is mostly flat and it is were most farmlands are located. Coastal areas are situated further south and through the easternmost part of the country.

Government and Politics
National Level
Rogolnika's government is a parliamentary republic, as stated in the recent 1980 Rogolnikan Constitution. The former presidential system of government that turned into an authoritarian dictatorship was abolished by the military in 1979. Under the military rule a Constitutional referendum took place, and military leaders chose the parliamentary system of government.
The government has three branches:
- Executive
The Prime Minister (PM) is the Head of the Government and he/she appoint ministers to the Ministerial Council to direct the administration of the country. Usually, he/she is the leader of the majority party in the Chamber of Deputies and also responsible for directing the government affairs and overseeing the whole governance of his party's platforms. Since mid-2015 the current Prime Minister is Edward Raheli from the National Democratic League.
The President on the other hand, is the Head of State. His/her role is purely ceremonial and has no real political power. He is appointed by the Prime Minister and should belong to the same political party as the Prime Minister. He/she can call early elections if the PM resigns or dies, and his term will only end at the appointment of a new President. The current President is Oliver Saldiyu.
- Legislative
The legislature is made up of only one chamber, called the National Parliament, and is composed of 195 members, coming from all the district members of the parliament (MP's) elected in each Province. It is administered by the Parliament Speaker. These elected politicians propose the bills that would then be examined and debated by its parliamentary committees. These bills would become the laws of the land after the approval of the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister loses the support of more than half of the deputy members, then the PM must resign.
- Judiciary
The National Court of Justice is the highest court of the land, headed by the Chief Justice, who is appointed by the Prime Minister based on the suggestion of the President. The NCJ settles all major disputes and issues, mostly of national importance.
Provincial/Sub-National Level
Each Province is governed by a Governor, which then appoints his/her Representative in the Provincial Legislatures or Assemblies. Every Province also has its own Provincial and local courts.
Municipal/City Government
Every city elects its own Mayor, which is the head of the City Government Council (CGC). The CGC is the main council that governs the city.

Relations with Belphenia
During Belphenia's First Leader Reiko Beard's visit to Rogolnika on late March 2015, she and Prime Minister Mitragany agreed to foreign humanitarian aid for the homeless people in Rogolnika affected by floods and landslides. The agreement states the gradual deployment of 130,000 Belphenian workers to Rogolnika to build houses for the affected people.

The Prime Minister of Rogolnika is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and holds all the power and decision-making for the country's defense.
Conscription is mandatory for all men starting at the age of 19. Some people may consider a military career as a way to improve themselves and to serve the country. The Armed Forces also have volunteer reserves for peacekeeping missions to the volatile areas around the world, particularly in Commonia. Since the country has never been engaged in a foreign war other than the civil war, most soldiers mainly guard and secure the territorial borders of the country and cracking down illegal and criminal activity together with the help of local police forces.
Another branch separate from the military but under the Ministry of National Defense is the Internal Armed Forces, and is made up of the Rogolnikan Police Force, Coast Guard, Border Security and Airport Police, all of which manages security measures and combat criminal activities in local areas within provincial boundaries.
