The Democratic Republic of Rocreia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8 million Rocreians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Social Policy also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Rocreian economy, worth 158 billion seeds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 19,823 seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Knitting needles have been banned in the name of public safety, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and government employees from Rocreia dominate international lumberjack competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rocreia's national animal is the worm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rocreia is ranked 121,932^nd in the world and 513^th in The Frontier Sea for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
