The Silly omni boi of Ross Commonwealth is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Mack Harkins with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.721 billion Antarcticans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Glasgow. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ross Commonwealthian economy, worth 62.9 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,542 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, politicians always seem reluctant to publish their tax returns, and the black market offers sweet deals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ross Commonwealth's national animal is the Pensacolan Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ross Commonwealth is ranked 98,379^th in the world and 1,251^st in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 98.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
