The People's Republic of Reventeur is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Felippe Rivatonni with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, avowedly heterosexual populace, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.21 billion Reventeurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annaton. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Reventeurian economy, worth 384 trillion Reventeuran Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,859 Reventeuran Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, government officials say that if you close your eyes and wish really hard the budget deficit will go away, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reventeur's national animal is the Great Reventeuran Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Reventeur is ranked 40,883^rd in the world and 2,383^rd in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,616.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
