The Kingdom of Rosethrone is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Edmund with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 2.559 billion Rosethroneans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra Regis. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rosethronean economy, worth 406 trillion Roses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 158,659 Roses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, private surgeons have been told to cut it out, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosethrone's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Empire Above.

Rosethrone is ranked 11,084^th in the world and 8^th in New United Kingdom of Albion for Nicest Citizens, with 29.77 average smiles per day.
