The Commonwealth of Rockamaba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Joe with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.761 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 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rockamaban economy, worth 649 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 172,704 Rrances, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, and appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise. 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 251,853^rd in the world and 11,003^rd in The North Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -23 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
