The Federal Republic of Revers is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.322 billion Reversians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reversian economy, worth 357 trillion energies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 153,690 energies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, big game hunters travel to Revers to try their hand at shark-shooting, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, and morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Revers's national animal is the honey badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Revers is ranked 36,035^th in the world and 43^rd in Aeternum for Smartest Citizens, with 51.57 quips per hour.
