The Federal Republic of Reichinstine is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 639 million Reichinstineans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wohlstand. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Reichinstinean economy, worth 74.0 trillion Quartzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 115,815 Quartzes, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, and the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Reichinstine's national animal is the Jackrabbit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Reichinstine is ranked 301,002^nd in the world and 1,392^nd in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.72 flags saluted per person per day.
