The Imperial Republic of Rosmana is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Aria Wessex with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.754 billion Rosmanans 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosmascant. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rosmanan economy, worth 526 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,820 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Rosmanan Liberator", and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosmana's national animal is the Eurasian coot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Rosmana is ranked 31,795^th in the world and 510^th in 10000 Islands for Smartest Citizens, with 46.81 quips per hour.
