The Republic of Rosorga is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Vozak Ulfric with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.276 billion Rosorgans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoveby. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Rosorgan economy, worth a remarkable 2,380 trillion lonas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 137,799 lonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room. Crime is totally unknown. Rosorga's national animal is the finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Verunism.

Rosorga is ranked 5,691^st in the world and 8^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Cultured, scoring 148 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
