The Dragon Nation of Reals is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Uman with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and enforced nudity. The democratic population of 29.78 billion Realsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiral. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Realsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 42,693 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers' complaints never reach central planning, Umanism has been named as Reals's national religion, Uman has just been declared ruler of Reals in an international press conference, and Reals has designated Tiral as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reals's national animal is the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Umanism.

Reals is ranked 209,283^rd in the world and 2^nd in Confederation of Askarian States for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 204.69 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
