The Republic of Rockies is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.969 billion Rockiesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rockiesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,326 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,913 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rockies's national animal is the kiwi.

Rockies is ranked 154,642^nd in the world and 3,868^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 511.72 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
