The Republic of Rose4 is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.471 billion Rose4ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.7%.

The all-consuming Rose4ian economy, worth 844 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,173 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, all beauty contests have been banned, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rose4's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rose4 is ranked 91,799^th in the world and 3,181^st in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,237.18 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
