The Stoic Republic of Rockypebbles is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Council Leader Rocky with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.906 billion Rockypebblesians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pebbleland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The powerhouse Rockypebblesian economy, worth 460 trillion pebbles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 77,920 pebbles, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, train stations can be 'armful places, visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, and political detractors refer to Council Leader Rocky as 'that Bigtopian puppet'. Crime is moderate. Rockypebbles's national animal is the armadillo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Rockypebbles is ranked 17,671^st in the world and 3^rd in Quiet Cottage on the Edge of the Cosmos for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 70,440.25 Standard Monetary Units.
