The Holy Empire of Rogue River is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kaiser Olson XVI with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.836 billion Rogue Riverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illatum. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rogue Riverian economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,431 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Rogue Riverians, and the Rogue Riverian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rogue River's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Visni.

Rogue River is ranked 20,798^th in the world and 4^th in Gravy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
