The Holy Empire of Rosicrucia is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 151 million Rosicrucians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Rosicrucian economy, worth 3.56 trillion Anglias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 23,588 Anglias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rosicrucia's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, children are raised bilingual from an early age, the government snoops on private internet connections, and the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Rosicrucia City for fear of causing a fuss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosicrucia's national animal is the Angel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rosicrucia is ranked 90,980^th in the world and 257^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 90.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
