Jersey flag of Reoenoids
The Holy Empire of Reoenoids is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 50 million Reoenoidsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Social Policy, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 46.7%.
The Reoenoidsian economy, worth 2.35 trillion Teeth 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. 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 47,082 Teeth, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and women who display their ankles are shunned by society. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Reoenoids's national animal is the Dingo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
