The Commonwealth of Reactia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ebenezer Roark with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, strictly enforced bedtime, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.04 billion Reactites live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rextropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Reactian economy, worth a remarkable 4,037 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 309,618 Aureuses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,530,552 per year while the poor average 35,600, a ratio of 43.0 to 1.
It's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, the comic book series 'Ebenezer Roark and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street". Crime is totally unknown. Reactia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mammonism.
Reactia is ranked 69,338th in the world and 111th in Wintreath for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,734.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
