The Federal Republic of Rockledge is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 303 million Rockledgers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bordeaux. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The all-consuming Rockledgean economy, worth 23.0 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 75,879 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

All facts are created equal, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, religious education is a new government priority, and men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rockledge's national animal is the Grey Hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Rockledge is ranked 170,950^th in the world and 458^th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,699.67 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
