The Northern Federation of Rogue River is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dave MacCordell with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.211 billion Riverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sayora. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riverian economy, worth a remarkable 2,976 trillion Federal Florins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 243,789 Federal Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government spares every expense for national defence, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, doctors are in shock as hospitals go into cardiac arrest, and pinkie promises are a matter of life and death. 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 Riverian Heavy-Tailed Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Visni.

Rogue River is ranked 267,441^st in the world and 227^th in Forest for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -10 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
