The Empire of Reichengrad is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Tsar Prescott LXVIII with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 4.741 billion Reichengradians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bakvodov City. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reichengradian economy, worth 724 trillion Reiches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 152,726 Reiches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and black gold is looking more brown these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reichengrad's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hillbillyism.

Reichengrad is ranked 13,757^th in the world and 633^rd in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 108,487.31 Standard Monetary Units.
