The Republic of Recheve is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Honourable Peter Broadright with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.815 billion Rechians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Etherington. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rechian economy, worth a remarkable 2,043 trillion Markes a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,711 Markes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, and disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Recheve's national animal is the Lark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Colossism.

Recheve is ranked 22,086^th in the world and 1,509^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
