The Power and Glory of Rekasneg is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its lack of airports, prohibition of alcohol, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.392 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 8,254 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 448,830 gold serpents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Rekasneg, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. 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 2,109th in the world and 2nd in Regionless for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 15,319.6 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
