The Principality of Regionate is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Military with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.838 billion Regionateans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Region City. The average income tax rate is 27.3%.

The powerhouse Regionatean economy, worth 267 trillion Regionate Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,432 Regionate Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The dartboard at the Regionatean Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of The Military's face, Region City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", and colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Regionate's national animal is the Regionate Animal.

Regionate is ranked 180,631^st in the world and 4^th in Regionate for Largest Populations, with 2.84 billion capita.
