The Free Land of The Roughnecks is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tool Pusher with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-working population of 7.741 billion Roughnecksians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oil City. The average income tax rate is 35.2%.

The strong Roughnecksian economy, worth 429 trillion Petro-dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,508 Petro-dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Tool Pusher in ermine and velvet garb, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime is totally unknown. The Roughnecks's national animal is the American Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mechanization.

The Roughnecks is ranked 145,800^th in the world and 1^st in Virginia Beach for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,114.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
