The Commonwealth of Rocishire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 13.732 billion Rocishireans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.5%.

The very strong Rocishirean economy, worth 762 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 55,512 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 209,819 per year while the poor average 10,218, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Rocishire's national animal is the lion.

Rocishire is ranked 11,757^th in the world and 4^th in Yorkshire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
