The State of Remodio is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tuurn Ropine with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.602 billion Remodins are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ioodiisitie. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Remodi economy, worth a remarkable 1,649 trillion asootis 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 a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 121,260 asootis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking, and poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Remodio's national animal is the pibi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Remodio is ranked 19,260^th in the world and 28^th in The Western Isles for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,284.79 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
