The Community of REBD 179 is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 12 million REBD 179ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case REBD 179ian economy, worth 79.2 billion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 6,599 deniers, 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 179's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

REBD 179 is ranked 324,757^th in the world and 2,217^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 12.0 million capita.
