“Pace vivimus omnibus temporum.”

The Greater Republic of Reijvajik is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.134 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal individuals is mainly concerned with Defence, although Commerce and Healthcare are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Reijvajik's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Reijian Dollar.

Reijvajik is ranked 14th in the region and 4,244th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
