The Kingdom of Rosethrone is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Edmund with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.426 billion Rosethroneans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra Regis. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rosethronean economy, worth 385 trillion Roses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 159,023 Roses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rosethrone's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Empire Above.

Rosethrone is ranked 5,805^th in the world and 4^th in New United Kingdom of Albion for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 16,068.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
