The Socialist Republic of Rosalind is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Rosa Gramsci with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.977 billion Rosalindians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darwin. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rosalindian economy, worth 719 trillion genes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 180,994 genes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Rosalindians any less frightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rosalind's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rosalind is ranked 3,785^th in the world and 195^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 635.69 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
