The Dominion of Rosmana is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 489 million Rosmanans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosmascant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The thriving Rosmanan economy, worth 40.7 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 83,148 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rosmana is ranked 132,195^th in the world and 126^th in Social Technocratic Union for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 488.82 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
