The Republic of Reachlands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Mace Tyrell with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.323 billion Reachlandsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Highgarden. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Reachlandsian economy, worth 379 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,314 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 559,338 per year while the poor average 35,028, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, school uniforms are compulsory, bored sailors desperately hope that someone will shoot at them, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Reachlands's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Reachlands is ranked 110,709^th in the world and 2,282^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,408.41 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
