The Republic of Reality- is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.198 billion Reality-ians 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 relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The strong Reality-ian economy, worth 285 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,014 marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, and Reality-'s heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Reality-'s national animal is the turtle.

Reality- is ranked 162,246^th in the world and 1^st in Fern for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,236.31 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
