The Community of Resh Aube is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 6 million Resh Aubeans 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 Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Resh Aubean economy, worth 128 billion RAAAAAAAS 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 Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 21,318 RAAAAAAAS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, euthanasia is legal, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Resh Aube's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Resh Aube is ranked 240,992^nd in the world and 1,313^th in the Outback for Highest Poor Incomes, with 18,836.21 Standard Monetary Units.
