The Empire of R3X is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nick Uchiha with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.965 billion Bakas 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Za Warudo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Baka economy, worth 382 trillion Starbucks Napkins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 194,444 Starbucks Napkins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 987,973 per year while the poor average 21,174, a ratio of 46.7 to 1.

Wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and kids only know what plants are because they've seen them on the television. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. R3X's national animal is the Rengoku, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rengokuism.

R3X is ranked 285,335^th in the world and 6,275^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 46 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
