The Republic of Rocketfuel3 is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.832 billion Rocketfuel3ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Rocketfuel3ian economy, worth 361 trillion rockets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 74,776 rockets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rocketfuel3's national animal is the rocket, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rocketfuel3 is ranked 317,540^th in the world and 1,711^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -14.28 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
