The Atomic Union of Rene is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Rose Lesteiber with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 14.271 billion Reneauxans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Teifa. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Renean economy, worth a remarkable 1,355 trillion Renotes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 95,000 Renotes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Rose Lesteiber is a silly poophead, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rene's national animal is the Hammerhead Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Heluism.

Rene is ranked 115,957th in the world and 2,178th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 326.76914503428 days.
