The Power and Glory of Rekasneg is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.41 billion Rekasneans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rekasnean economy, worth a remarkable 8,991 trillion gold serpents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 463,235 gold serpents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and lavish state dinners in Rekasneg City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rekasneg's national animal is the lion-headed serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rekasneg is ranked 310,000th in the world and 38th in Regionless for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 27.74 Workforce Participation Rate.
