The Republic of Raegis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Consul Torbjorn with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 23.081 billion Rægesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saexia. The average income tax rate is 9.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rægesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,651 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,855 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the government regularly crumbles under the pressure of terrorists, Rægesian diplomacy is by the book, and depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Raegis's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Rægesian Paganism.

Raegis is ranked 3,445^th in the world and 176^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 126.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
