The Empire of Reqovia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Board of Directors with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 23.29 billion Reqovians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zalivok. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Reqovian economy, worth an astonishing 11,962 trillion Slashings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 513,647 Slashings, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,079,122 per year while the poor average 38,842, a ratio of 79.3 to 1.

Distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, major polluting industries have painted a lot of their machines green to give an impression of caring about the environment, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Reqovia's national animal is the Dragoon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Reqovia is ranked 1,209th in the world and 6th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Fattest Citizens, with 59.45 Obesity Rate.
