The United People's Republics of Rewood is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 657 million Rewoodians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sotopia. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Rewoodian economy, worth 34.8 trillion Trireses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 52,980 Trireses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rewood's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rewood is ranked 31,636^th in the world and 1^st in United Social Democratic States for Safest, scoring 108.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
