The United Socialist States of Reijekstan is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Secretary Peter Kazan with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.851 billion Reijekstanis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marx-Engels City. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Reijekstani economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 trillion Reijekstani Rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 144,229 Reijekstani Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When their backs are against the walls Reijekstanis look out for gay men, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reijekstan's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Reijekstan is ranked 293,473^rd in the world and 11,482^nd in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
