The Retired Crazy Old Man of Rebel-topia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Jason Dowling with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.854 billion Rebel-topians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warner. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rebel-topian economy, worth a remarkable 3,289 trillion Deutschy-Markies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,343 Deutschy-Markies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, almost all products in Rebel-topia are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, and the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rebel-topia's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yay For Cake.

Rebel-topia is ranked 155,960^th in the world and 3,148^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,441.84 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
