The Free Land of Rhea Royce is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Lady Arryn with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 8.355 billion Royces 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 Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Runestone. The average income tax rate is 27.7%.

The Royce economy, worth 456 trillion golden dragons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,684 golden dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhea Royce's national animal is the falcon and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.
