The Academic Republic of Remavas is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Stephen Dawkings with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.198 billion Remavai have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Selfish Gene. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Remavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,530 trillion Remoes a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,964 Remoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, Remavian doors require a Ph.D. to open, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Remavas's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Remavas is ranked 8,188^th in the world and 455^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,252.03 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
