The Galactic Empire of Rock87 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 23.18 billion Gorignakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakeen. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rock87ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,996 trillion Bebops a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,124 Bebops, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rock87's national animal is the Bojack, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rock87 is ranked 186,062^nd in the world and 5^th in Island of Lost Souls for Largest Black Market, with 610 billion Standard Monetary Units.
