The Republic of New Rosenreach is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 248 million New Rosenreachians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.6%.

The strong New Rosenreachian economy, worth 11.8 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,610 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Rosenreach's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Rosenreach is ranked 192,002^nd in the world and 3,338^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
