The Crownlands of Relenbar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Lord Protector with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.838 billion Relishes are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Titan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Relenbarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,542 trillion Solaris a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 275,902 Solaris, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,524,199 per year while the poor average 3,259, a ratio of 774 to 1.

Priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, guns don't kill people — heroes do, spiritual tourists meditate in the ruins of Relenbarian cathedrals, and pranking is an art form. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Relenbar's national animal is the Manticore, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Machine God.

Relenbar is ranked 5,484^th in the world and 17^th in Europe for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 12,160.76 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
