The Republic of Recaxa is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Diana Zorreguieta with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.088 billion Recaxans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Lucia. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Recaxan economy, worth 404 trillion Pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 98,905 Pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, the legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system, prosecutors accuse General Tso of monopolizing the lunch market, and dictionary sales have hit an all-time high. Crime is totally unknown. Recaxa's national animal is the Black Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Recaxa is ranked 32,475^th in the world and 554^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 72.06 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
