The Republic of Receivables is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.824 billion Receivablesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The thriving Receivablesian economy, worth 193 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 68,404 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 242,131 per year while the poor average 13,953, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Receivables's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Receivables is ranked 240,777^th in the world and 10,606^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 13,953.22 Standard Monetary Units.
