The Cannibalistic Wasteland of ReeK is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kim Don Zeus with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 27.825 billion Cunning Horis 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ile Du Haast. The average income tax rate is 5.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hori economy, worth a remarkable 7,146 trillion Aborted Foetuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 256,823 Aborted Foetuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and '.lib' or '.con' domains indicate whether Hori websites are meant for liberals or conservatives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ReeK's national animal is the Retired Porn Star, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Easter Worshipophobia.

ReeK is ranked 331,011^th in the world and 4,283^rd in The East Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 16.8 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
