The Republic of Repitition is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.209 billion Repititionians 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 enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Repititionian economy, worth 554 trillion sames a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,482 sames, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Cars are banned, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, and derelict airplanes have been converted into novelty restaurants and hotels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Repitition's national animal is the same, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Repitition is ranked 73,930^th in the world and 1^st in Duplicates for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 58.57 Effective Tax Rate.
