The Commonwealth of Reactia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ebenezer Roark with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.108 billion Reactites live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rextropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Reactian economy, worth a remarkable 5,767 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 318,496 Aureuses, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,669,862 per year while the poor average 32,536, a ratio of 51.3 to 1.

Commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares, and cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement. Crime is totally unknown. Reactia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mammonism.

Reactia is ranked 123,624th in the world and 60th in Wintreath for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,045.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
