The Holy Empire of REDakai is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 537 million REDakaians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Environment, Spirituality, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient REDakaian economy, worth 23.4 trillion Gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,505 Gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, boys are forced to pair off for the school disco slow dance as the girls are all staying at home, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, and REDakaian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. REDakai's national animal is the Beholder, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

REDakai is ranked 93,976th in the world and 4th in Chaotic Nations of Misfits Alliance for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,740.82 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
