The Silly omni boi of Ross Commonwealth is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mack Harkins with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.675 billion Antarcticans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Glasgow. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ross Commonwealthian economy, worth 57.5 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,307 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and politicians always seem reluctant to publish their tax returns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ross Commonwealth's national animal is the Pensacolan Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ross Commonwealth is ranked 105,260th in the world and 1,314th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 29,414.52 Standard Monetary Units.
