The Strex Corp Subsidiary of Restorza is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Smiling God with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.956 billion Restorzans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desert Bluffs. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Restorzan economy, worth a remarkable 7,386 trillion Schmeckles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 462,960 Schmeckles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,331,010 per year while the poor average 4,232, a ratio of 1,023 to 1.
Adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, sociologists ponder how baby-napped ethnic minority 'runaways' could have gone so bad so soon, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, and soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Restorza's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Strex Corp.
Restorza is ranked 156th in the world and 5th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 462,960.27 Standard Monetary Units.
