The Principality of Regrbl is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Varnava Petrov with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.465 billion Regrblis 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pumpkin Patch Town. The average income tax rate is 69.2%.

The all-consuming Regrblian economy, worth a remarkable 1,059 trillion Pumpkins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,413 Pumpkins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has been criticized for giving away Regrbl's territory to anyone who claims it, the invisible hand of the market has arrived under threat of the visible fist of sanctions, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Regrbl's national animal is the GMO Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Regrbl is ranked 140,160^th in the world and 4^th in Yecyma for Smartest Citizens, with 31.16 quips per hour.
