The Federal Republic of The Rega is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.842 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, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Regan economy, worth 717 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,841 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum. 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 205,101^st in the world and 5,644^th in the West Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,222.7 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
