Presumably located in Eastern Europe, the Robo-Hungarian Empire. The robot citizens of the empire are portrayed as superstitious and peasant-like, similar to the Transylvanians in the 1931 film Dracula. As carnies are the nation's chief export, some citizens have emigrated to New New York and work for the Circus Roboticus. The capital city is Thermostadt and the empire is ruled by the profligate Emperor Nikolai. The empire is a member of the United Nations.
Emperor
- Main article: Emperor Nikolai
The emperor of Robo-Hungary is the spendthrift playboy Emperor Nikolai, who is beloved by his people, who gladly risk their life for him and their empire. He was long engaged to Princess Flavia, and had his cousin Basil as the head of his personal Guard, until 3010 when an affair between the two was revealed, and Basil tried assassinating the emperor. The assassination failed however, and Basil was instead killed, thanks to Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth and the Robo-Hungarian Robot Clowns from Circus Roboticus (6ACV10).

Trivia
