The Power and Glory of Rekasneg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.35 billion Rekasneans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rekasnean economy, worth a remarkable 8,220 trillion gold serpents 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 448,010 gold serpents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Rekasneg at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rekasneg's national animal is the lion-headed serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rekasneg is ranked 170th in the world and 1st in Regionless for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 39,357.87 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
