The Moon Worshipping Class of Rectonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vespera Miller with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.62 billion Rectonians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duskmire. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rectonian economy, worth 244 trillion Eclipens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,152 Eclipens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, the children of Rectonia are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rectonia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lunviranism.

Rectonia is ranked 212,588th in the world and 211th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,088.17 Standard Monetary Units.
