The Confederacy of Roosten is a large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 94 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 Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.6%.

The very strong Roostenian economy, worth 6.82 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,557 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Roosten City to enjoy their national art, the endangered saltwater humpback wolf is only seen in captivity programs, and Leader has killer fashion sense. Crime is totally unknown. Roosten's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Roosten is ranked 20,910^th in the world and 562^nd in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 22.3 average smiles per day.
