The Holy Reeteetian Empire of Reeteet is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Obama with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.983 billion Reeteetians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Obamaville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Reeteetian economy, worth a remarkable 6,744 trillion Reets a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 519,454 Reets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,802,323 per year while the poor average 5,482, a ratio of 876 to 1.

Max Barry finally has time for writing books after NationStates was recently outlawed, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, and requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Reeteet's national animal is the Bama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sonic Adventure 2.

Reeteet is ranked 10,134th in the world and 1st in Thicc Economy Bois for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
