Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dark Colony of Reseda Island IV is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Jack Morrison with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 6.988 billion 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 large government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emblazic City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20%. A healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Criminals are thrown to the Plasma Falcons to repay their debt to society, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Emblazic City, Jack Morrison has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and Jack Morrison is the self-declared God of all Reseda Island IV. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Reseda Island IV's national animal is the Plasma Falcon, its national religion is GOD CLOCKism, and its currency is the Plasma Krona.

Reseda Island IV is ranked 7th in Earth Kingdom and 98,771st in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 1 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
