The People's Republic of Repolaa is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 672 million Repolaans 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Repolaa City. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Repolaan economy, worth 61.0 trillion Finns 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 90,713 Finns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, the comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Repolaa's national animal is the NO NATIONAL ANIMAL, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Repolaa is ranked 125,851^st in the world and 607^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 114.0601353348 days.
