The Fiefdom of Lady Rose is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lady Rose with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 44.66 billion Lady Roseans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meriamne. The average income tax rate is 3.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lady Rosean economy, worth an astonishing 12,674 trillion Coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,793 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's never a spare chair in the retirement home, only the richest get to see out of their windows, matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, and advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lady Rose's national animal is the Black Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Individualism.

Lady Rose is ranked 294,239^th in the world and 1^st in Lady Rose for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
