The états alliés of Recuecn is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.276 billion Reçeucians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reçueçn City. The average income tax rate is 87.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Reçuecian economy, worth a remarkable 1,292 trillion guilders a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,516 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Recuecn's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Recuecn is ranked 9,818^th in the world and 174^th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,605.61 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
