The Great Republic of Repica is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Chancellor Gustav with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 4.582 billion Repicans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Repican economy, worth 517 trillion reps a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,913 reps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, everyone seems to be pushing the buttons of AIs, and jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Repica's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Repica is ranked 34,749^th in the world and 569^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 69,345.75 Standard Monetary Units.
