The Confederacy of Roosten is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 180 million Roostenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 20.8%.

The thriving Roostenian economy, worth 14.1 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,370 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, idyllic countryside scenes see border collies herding sixty-ton dinosaurs, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime is totally unknown. Roosten's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Roosten is ranked 56,467^th in the world and 3^rd in New California for Safest, scoring 100.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
