The Federal Republic of The Rega is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.969 billion Regans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Regan economy, worth a remarkable 1,729 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,305 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is raising the stakes on mental health to beat the odds of addiction, police officers outnumber pigeons in Alexandria, the government has spread itself thin, and the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants. Crime is totally unknown. The Rega's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tolerance.

The Rega is ranked 18,328^th in the world and 293^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,369.02 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
