The Commonwealth of Rockamaba is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Joe with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 906 million 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kranvagn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Rockamaban economy, worth 124 trillion Rockaian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,971 Rockaian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 114,670^th in the world and 4,807^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,427.1 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
