Rosamund Island is self-governing, with its own constitution and government and a Parliament which makes local laws. Great Morstaybishlia retains responsibility for defence and foreign relations. As of July 2018, its population is ---, one of the smallest of the Morstaybishlian overseas territories.

It has a subtropical climate and lies in the hurricane belt and thus is prone to related severe weather; however, it is somewhat protected by a coral reef that surrounds the island and its position at the north of the belt, which limits the direction and severity of approaching storms.
