The Kingdom of Rosethrone is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Edmund with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.393 billion Rosethroneans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra Regis. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rosethronean economy, worth 380 trillion Roses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 158,988 Roses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosethrone's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Empire Above.

Rosethrone is ranked 11,714^th in the world and 8^th in New United Kingdom of Albion for Nicest Citizens, with 28.74 average smiles per day.
