The Empire of Reqovia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Regency Council with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, vat-grown people, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.341 billion Reqovians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zalivok. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Reqovian economy, worth an astonishing 11,087 trillion Slashings a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 722,743 Slashings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Reqovian selfishness, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reqovia's national animal is the Wyvern, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Paganism.
Reqovia is ranked 234,673rd in the world and 397th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Highest Drug Use, scoring 4.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
