The Sultanate of Sub Rosa is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.782 billion Sub Rosans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 11.8%.

The Sub Rosan economy, worth 84.0 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 47,158 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, education and welfare spending are on the rise, small towns have started burning historical buildings in hopes of attracting tourists, and the atmosphere in Sub Rosan boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sub Rosa's national animal is the lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sub Rosa is ranked 285,466^th in the world and 151^st in The Western Isles for Largest Governments, scoring 8.19 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
