The Empire of REBD 17 is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 20 million Red-Eyeds are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.5%.

The REBD 17ian economy, worth 1.00 trillion black coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 50,141 black coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. REBD 17's national animal is the dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

REBD 17 is ranked 28,236^th in the world and 212^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,768.94 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
