The Isolationist Republic of Roshar TM is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Henderson with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.774 billion Rosharians 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 prioritizes Education, with Defense, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auctoritas. The average income tax rate is 63.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Roshar TMian economy, worth 376 trillion Geos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,553 Geos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roshar TM's national animal is the Heron, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vorinism.

Roshar TM is ranked 299,806^th in the world and 3^rd in The Intergalactic Domain for Most Primitive, scoring -296.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
