Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rextropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Reactian economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 241,301 Aureuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 711,147 per year while the poor average 64,427, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.
