The Republic of Recaxa is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 573 million Recaxans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Lucia. The average income tax rate is 26.4%.

The powerhouse Recaxan economy, worth 46.6 trillion Pesetas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 81,355 Pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Recaxa's radio stations, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Recaxa's national animal is the Black Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Recaxa is ranked 278,121^st in the world and 4,453^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -6.48 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
