The Confederacy of Roosten is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 199 million Roostenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 21.5%.

The thriving Roostenian economy, worth 15.5 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,959 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and Roosten's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is totally unknown. Roosten's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Roosten is ranked 114,830^th in the world and 7^th in New California for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,063.44 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
