The Holy Empire of Rogue River is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Olson XVI with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 6.894 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, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illatum. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rogue Riverian economy, worth a remarkable 1,697 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 246,192 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

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 9,216^th in the world and 3^rd in Gravy for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,567.59 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
