The Technocracy of Rockemsockem is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Renmo with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.267 billion Rockaskeites 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 medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vel'os citadel. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sockeite economy, worth a remarkable 2,465 trillion cruisers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 266,012 cruisers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, Rockemsockem isn't what it used to be, and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rockemsockem's national animal is the Northern Bisloth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Coffee.

Rockemsockem is ranked 38,060th in the world and 714th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 106.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
