The Democratic Republic of Reilen is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 101 million Reilenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Reilenian economy, worth 1.11 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 11,018 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, anti-government web sites are springing up, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, and most ambassadors from Reilen retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reilen's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Reilen is ranked 267,862^nd in the world and 126^th in Socialists for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.72 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
