The United Republic of Reyo is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Akko with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.288 billion Reyannese are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Reyo. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Reyannese economy, worth a remarkable 2,508 trillion Reyannese pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 188,775 Reyannese pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,711,932 per year while the poor average 2,432, a ratio of 703 to 1.

Claiming it smells like rain can land you in a storm of trouble, the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Reyo's national animal is the Golden phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of the Golden Phoenix.

Reyo is ranked 13,108^th in the world and 3^rd in United Nations for Highest Average Incomes, with 188,775.37 Standard Monetary Units.
