The Republic of Recet is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Eagle population. The hard-working, democratic population of 32 million Recetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The Recetian economy, worth 1.73 trillion RTS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,124 RTS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Recet's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Recet is ranked 245,205^th in the world and 157^th in Britannia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.57 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
