The Empire of Reqovia

“Violence Has Its Own Economy”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Reqovia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Board of Directors with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.218 billion Reqovians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zalivok. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Reqovian economy, worth an astonishing 11,030 trillion Slashings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 496,483 Slashings, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,824,381 per year while the poor average 42,485, a ratio of 66.5 to 1.

The sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Reqovia's national animal is the Dragoon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Reqovia is ranked 292,767^th in the world and 174^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Primitive, scoring -1405.99 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
