The State of Repreteop is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Joey Coconut with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.437 billion Repreteopians 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 frighteningly efficient Repreteopians economy, worth a remarkable 1,639 trillion Fazaars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 194,363 Fazaars, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

President Joey Coconut's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, boom-and-bust cycles are being peddled as economically inevitable, and there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Repreteop's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.
