The Illuminated Prestige of Rothschild Investments is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nathaniel Rothschild with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.746 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 30.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Rothschild Investmentsian economy, worth 709 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 189,472 Bullions, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 748,567 per year while the poor average 32,469, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season, the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. 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 3,995^th in the world and 16^th in Sovereign Corporate League for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 131,873.16 Standard Monetary Units.
