The Strex Corp Subsidiary of Restorza is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Smiling God with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.654 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, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, 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 6,640 trillion Schmeckles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 453,135 Schmeckles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,608,845 per year while the poor average 37,723, a ratio of 69.2 to 1.

The police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, Restorzans must literally pay their respects to hear from their political representatives, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, and the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night. 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 293,676th in the world and 7,247th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
