The Commonwealth of Rockamaba is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Joe with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.002 billion Rockamabans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kranvagn. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rockamaban economy, worth 693 trillion Rrances a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 173,250 Rrances, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Beggars lack pockets for spare change, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Rrance charge on their phone bill, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and good-looking doctors are obliged by law to give foot rubs to Joe. 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 98,632^nd in the world and 4,228^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,694.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
