The Celestial Realm of Reedian is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Generalissimo Trevor Jameson with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.841 billion Reeders are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reediopilos. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reedish economy, worth a remarkable 9,636 trillion Reedish Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 485,675 Reedish Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Reedian's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Lavigne.

Reedian is ranked 345,688th in the world and 16,513th in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -16.25 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
