The State of De Rosas is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.481 billion De Rosasians 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 tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The thriving De Rosasian economy, worth 583 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 68,755 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 243,371 per year while the poor average 14,024, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem. De Rosas's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

De Rosas is ranked 69,500^th in the world and 2^nd in Alternis Europa for Most Corrupt Governments, with 26.22 kickbacks per hour.
