The Confederacy of Rectionk is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Minister Harrison with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 1.579 billion Rectionians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rectonia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Rectionkian economy, worth 298 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 189,066 credits, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

International trade is a sticky issue, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, suicide victims often leave behind cash to cover the cost of their fines, and even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rectionk's national animal is the lemur, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rectionk is ranked 18,051^st in the world and 255^th in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 113.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
