The Private Military Company of Redut is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 2.34 billion Mercs 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Redutian economy, worth 85.4 trillion Gold Rubles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,513 Gold Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Redut's national animal is the African Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Redut is ranked 244,597^th in the world and 16^th in Russian Armed Forces for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 83.91 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
