The Esoteric Order of Renea is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kyoko with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 10.605 billion Reneans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katikatiyama. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Renean economy, worth a remarkable 5,895 trillion Yōmyons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 555,961 Yōmyons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, the children of Renea are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the state subsidizes liposuction, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Renea. Crime is totally unknown. Renea's national animal is the Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is dehumanizing itatrain worship.

Renea is ranked 528^th in the world and 33^rd in Lazarus for Largest Black Market, with 9,201 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
