The Democratic States of Rock Equelia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 250 million Rock Equelians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The powerhouse Rock Equelian economy, worth 21.3 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 85,197 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 266,185 per year while the poor average 20,928, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rock Equelia's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Rock Equelia is ranked 200,814^th in the world and 1,802^nd in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 20,928.46 Standard Monetary Units.
