The Strex Corp Subsidiary of Restorza is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Smiling God with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of public education, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.369 billion Restorzans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desert Bluffs. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Restorzan economy, worth a remarkable 9,198 trillion Schmeckles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 474,903 Schmeckles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,444,003 per year while the poor average 4,325, a ratio of 1,027 to 1.

News headlines suggest that Smiling God has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, the government throws money at problems when in a jam, nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, and the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Restorza's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Strex Corp.

Restorza is ranked 259th in the world and 5th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 17,184.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
