The Venerable Eco-Dorks of Refugia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by The Arch-Administrator with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.981 billion Refugi are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Admin Tower. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Refugi economy, worth 64.0 trillion planets 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 Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 6,416 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, emojis are the soul of wit, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Refugia's national animal is the Dot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Refugia is ranked 87,910^th in the world and 107^th in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 196.26 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
