The Republic of Recaxa is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Diana Zorreguieta with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 793 million Recaxans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Lucia. The average income tax rate is 31.4%.

The all-consuming Recaxan economy, worth 65.7 trillion Pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 82,810 Pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, retail staff are trained to take both inside leg measurements and the lives of their enemies, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and Diana Zorreguieta has just been declared ruler of Recaxa in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Recaxa's national animal is the Black Jaguar.

Recaxa is ranked 48,698th in the world and 649th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,427.67 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
