The Technocracy of Rockemsockem is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Renmo with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.292 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 tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, 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 16.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sockeite economy, worth a remarkable 2,362 trillion cruisers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 254,198 cruisers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy, towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 284,841st in the world and 3,926th in the Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -18.17 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
