The Democratic Republic of Rockmill is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Parker with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.44 billion Rockmillians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Cobra. The average income tax rate is 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Rockmillian economy, worth 170 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 69,984 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown. Rockmill's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rockmill is ranked 71,240^th in the world and 3,416^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
