The Holy Empire of Rogue River is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Olson XVI with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 6.956 billion Rogue Riverians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illatum. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rogue Riverian economy, worth a remarkable 1,698 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,192 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Rogue Riverians, and the Rogue Riverian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rogue River's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Visni.

Rogue River is ranked 224,620^th in the world and 28^th in Gravy for Safest, scoring 24.37 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
