“To each his own. ”

The Federal Republic of Rosaterra is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its national health service. Its compassionate population of 510 million 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 minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Public Transport. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, hospitals are run down while the rich pay for private treatment, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Rosaterra's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

Rosaterra is ranked 59th in the region and 42,255th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
