The Republic of New Rocland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Aarne Matias with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.15 billion Roclandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tallinn. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Roclandian economy, worth 308 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,002 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and Aarne Matias's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Rocland's national animal is the Northern Stoat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Rocland is ranked 53,547^th in the world and 586^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
