The Holy Order of Second Reconquista is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand-Master Tobias with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.619 billion Crusaders 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Isabella. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.3%.

The Crusader economy, worth 376 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,156 Lire, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, police shut down children's lemonade stands for being "unsavory street food", and infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Second Reconquista's national animal is the Cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christ.

Second Reconquista is ranked 78,039^th in the world and 96^th in Christians for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,950.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
