The Direct Republic of Rax-Japeng is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by R-J Greater Council with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate population of 4.333 billion Raxler-Japengus have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nexum. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rax-Japengian economy, worth 608 trillion Bits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,371 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Governance is once again the domain of the elite, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise. Crime is totally unknown. Rax-Japeng's national animal is the Red tuna, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Rax-Japeng is ranked 4,963^rd in the world and 4^th in Enowiden for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 566.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
