The Republic of Reoul is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 192 million Reoulians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.7%.

The very strong Reoulian economy, worth 12.3 trillion Vanis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,236 Vanis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,347 per year while the poor average 15,819, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Reoul is suspiciously populated compared to its neighbors, foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Reoulian ambassadors, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and the nation is wading into dangerous waters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reoul's national animal is the Hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Reoul is ranked 136,735^th in the world and 7^th in Lucent for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 482.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
