The Commonwealth of Rockamaba is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Joe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.492 billion Rockamabans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kranvagn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Rockamaban economy, worth a remarkable 1,408 trillion Rrances a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 188,067 Rrances, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The RBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Rockamaba at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rockamaba's national animal is the Rockian Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rockamaba is ranked 6,447^th in the world and 302^nd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
