The Kingdom of Reefside is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Holbrook with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.768 billion Reefsideans 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 tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cincinnati. The average income tax rate is 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reefsidean economy, worth a remarkable 2,482 trillion Primes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 230,514 Primes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism, "The Pride of the Reefsidean Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, and clerics are taught that silence is golden and duct tape is silver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Reefside's national animal is the Bengal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Reefside is ranked 84,079th in the world and 4,273rd in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,156.85 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
