The Empire of REBD 138 is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 18 million Red-Eyeds are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile REBD 138ian economy, worth 313 billion dragon nails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,402 dragon nails, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. REBD 138's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

REBD 138 is ranked 239,135^th in the world and 1,600^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
