The Democratic Republic of Rico Roca is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Gilberto Gonzales with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.068 billion Rico Rocans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of T'chnok. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rico Rocan economy, worth a remarkable 3,470 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 164,721 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rico Roca's national animal is the Rico Rocan Amazon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Rico Roca is ranked 6,818th in the world and 2nd in Caribbean for Most Cultured, scoring 142 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
