The Disputed Territories of Rosbera is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Pierre Lefaut with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.333 billion Rosberans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reuben. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.4%.

The powerhouse Rosberan economy, worth 112 trillion Parises a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,558 Parises, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 263,115 per year while the poor average 20,894, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

The recently bereaved have plenty of time to mourn during their incarcerations, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosbera's national animal is the Bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianism.

Rosbera is ranked 194,159^th in the world and 9,224^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 20,894.32 Standard Monetary Units.
