The United Federation of Rothesia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Maria Kali with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.45 billion Rothesians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estoria. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rothesian economy, worth 156 trillion Sandorias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 108,015 Sandorias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, purported secret military bases are dismissed by Maria Kali to be highly-advanced toilet factories, the horniness of the great-horned Horse is considered a national priority, and planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rothesia's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheist.

Rothesia is ranked 25,410^th in the world and 88^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Developed, scoring 84.81 on the Human Development Index.
