The United States of Rockville-MD- is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.229 billion Rockville-MD-ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Rockville-MD-ian economy, worth 592 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 140,068 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 395,383 per year while the poor average 39,720, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Rockville-MD-, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rockville-MD-'s national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Rockville-MD- is ranked 22,348th in the world and 122nd in Aerospace for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,726.16 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
