The Eternal Empire of Retalia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Koray Senmazilika with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.715 billion Retalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ezrois. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Retalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,818 trillion Aziras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,208 Aziras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The study of medicine is popular throughout Retalia, a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Retalian wolves and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Retalia's national animal is the Retalian wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Retalia is ranked 9,525th in the world and 538th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
