The Commonwealth of Rex Republic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jmasrus with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.286 billion Rex Republicians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rexburg. The average income tax rate is 78.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Rex Republician economy, worth a remarkable 5,153 trillion Rexes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 231,256 Rexes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular scientists are shunned by name, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, it is mandatory for actors to exit stage left, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rex Republic's national animal is the Arapaima, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bite Me.

Rex Republic is ranked 288,534^th in the world and 6,236^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -21.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
