The State of Roseaux is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.86 billion Roseauxians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The powerhouse Roseauxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 43,085 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 292,927 per year while the poor average 2,315, a ratio of 126 to 1.
