The Misantrophic Totalitarians of Rosartemis is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by nothing ever happens with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.343 billion nothing ever happens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Spirituality are also considered important, while Education and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of nothing ever happens. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.5%.

The frighteningly efficient nothing ever happens economy, worth 726 trillion nothing ever happens 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. 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 an amazing 217,188 nothing ever happens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,973,891 per year while the poor average 2,741, a ratio of 720 to 1.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, chess defeat has made nothing ever happens the laughingstock of dictators and grandmasters alike, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rosartemis's national animal is the nothing ever happens, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is nothing ever happens.

Rosartemis is ranked 4,666th in the world and 1st in Rosartemis for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 6,778.88 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
