The Federal Republic of The Rega is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.047 billion Regans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Regan economy, worth a remarkable 1,737 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,305 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is raising the stakes on mental health to beat the odds of addiction, police officers outnumber pigeons in Alexandria, the government has spread itself thin, and the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants. Crime is totally unknown. The Rega's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tolerance.

The Rega is ranked 317,884^th in the world and 2,510^th in the West Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
