The Armed Technocracy of Rockemsockem is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Renmo with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.077 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 aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vel'os citadel. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sockeite economy, worth a remarkable 2,323 trillion cruisers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 256,012 cruisers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, and international trade is a sticky issue. 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 28,954th in the world and 273rd in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,383.43607293368 days.
