The Commonwealth of Recurrent Impact is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.273 billion Recurrent Impactians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The strong Recurrent Impactian economy, worth 91.6 trillion catnips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 40,291 catnips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,685 per year while the poor average 2,525, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Recurrent Impact's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Recurrent Impact is ranked 250,722^nd in the world and 7^th in Why Tea for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.06 kickbacks per hour.
