The Republic of Repuk is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 29 million Repukians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing Repukian economy, worth 961 billion guilders a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,150 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, reddish-brown is the new black, and elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Repuk's national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Repuk is ranked 49,152^nd in the world and 921^st in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
