The Holy Empire of Reforria is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 559 million Reforrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falconia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.0%.
The all-consuming Reforrian economy, worth 43.8 trillion Reforrian Dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,273 Reforrian Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 449,870 per year while the poor average 6,542, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.
The studies of art and philosophy are banned, adultery has been made a capital offence, economics is a shrinking field, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Reforria's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Reforria is ranked 45,680th in the world and 898th in the South Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,906.14 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
