The Queen's State of Rocky Mount is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.092 billion Rocky Mountians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The thriving Rocky Mountian economy, worth 568 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 29,793 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 86,286 per year while the poor average 8,152, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Rocky Mount's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rocky Mount is ranked 261,968^th in the world and 450^th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
