The Rockopolis of Rock Mice is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.894 billion 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.
It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, a nation-wide cull of rock mouses is in effect, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Rock Mice's national animal is the rock mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the nugget.
Rock Mice is ranked 1st in Islyan Plains and 48,696th in the world for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 0 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
