The City of Port Rosewood is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Mayor Alexandra Appleby with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.15 billion Port Rosewoodians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Rosewood. The average income tax rate is 85.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Port Rosewoodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,627 trillion Densaner Penances a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,345 Densaner Penances, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, and the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Port Rosewood's national animal is the Urban Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Free Church of Densaner.
Port Rosewood is ranked 92,730th in the world and 34th in The Card Mine for Most Stationary, with 495.80866184892 days.
