The Federal Republic of The Rega is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.685 billion Regans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Regan economy, worth 272 trillion francs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,536 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime is totally unknown. The Rega's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tolerance.

The Rega is ranked 184,369^th in the world and 5,285^th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -199.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
