The Sweet Honeyful Queendom of Rosie Bee is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Queen Rose with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.871 billion Rosie Bees are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rose Hill Castle. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rosie Bee economy, worth 255 trillion Rose Petals a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,742 Rose Petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the government has certified several glow-in-the-dark athletes as drug free, and consumers are free to choose - so long as they choose Eckie-Ecola or Eckie-Cola. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosie Bee's national animal is the Queen Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rosie Bee is ranked 50,092^nd in the world and 37^th in Wintreath for Largest Black Market, with 16.1 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
