The Community of RockTown is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Grug with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.393 billion RockTownians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Rock. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient RockTownian economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion Rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 127,564 Rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang, the media seems excessively interested in what Grug is wearing this season, betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. RockTown's national animal is the Saber Tooth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Sun God.
RockTown is ranked 239,439th in the world and 9,587th in Osiris for Most Extreme, scoring 11.6 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
