The Constitutional Monarchy of Resististan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.525 billion Resististanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Resististanian economy, worth 91.7 trillion regins 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 36,331 regins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Resististan's national animal is the two-headed swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Resististan is ranked 117,923^rd in the world and 927^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,820.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
