The frighteningly efficient Rekasnean economy, worth a remarkable 8,223 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 447,987 gold serpents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rekasneg's national animal is the lion-headed serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
