The Strex Corp Subsidiary of Restorza is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Smiling God with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.835 billion Restorzans 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desert Bluffs. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Restorzan economy, worth a remarkable 6,116 trillion Schmeckles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 442,076 Schmeckles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,135,638 per year while the poor average 4,041, a ratio of 1,023 to 1.
Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Restorza's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Strex Corp.
Restorza is ranked 1,744th in the world and 47th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,219.39 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
