The United Socialist States of Rosaceaea is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 62 million Rosaceaeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Rosaceaean economy, worth 1.96 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 31,684 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is wading into dangerous waters, Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Rosaceaea, a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosaceaea's national animal is the X02 strike wyvern.

Rosaceaea is ranked 204,730^th in the world and 53^rd in Rosaria for Highest Drug Use, scoring 94.91 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
