The Commonwealth of Recurrent Impact is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.787 billion Recurrent Impactians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The strong Recurrent Impactian economy, worth 112 trillion catnips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 40,291 catnips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,685 per year while the poor average 2,525, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Recurrent Impact's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Recurrent Impact is ranked 193,923^rd in the world and 47^th in Defender Olympics for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
