The Illuminated Prestige of Rothschild Investments is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nathaniel Rothschild with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and deadly medical pandemics. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.801 billion Rothschild Investmentsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Rothschild Investmentsian economy, worth 721 trillion Bullions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 189,813 Bullions, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 796,980 per year while the poor average 29,379, a ratio of 27.1 to 1.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity, college students sell their most valuable possessions just to afford pizza, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rothschild Investments's national animal is the Gazelle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chabad.

Rothschild Investments is ranked 11,768^th in the world and 6^th in Sovereign Corporate League for Most Corrupt Governments, with 141.23 kickbacks per hour.
