The Confederacy of Reikswald is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Elyakhim Bennet with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.721 billion Reiksleutes 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashkelon. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reikswaldian economy, worth 570 trillion Shekels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,610 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declared that sharing is uncaring, criminal convictions are routinely thrown out because the accused's grandmother didn't get to testify about their good character, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Prime Minister Elyakhim Bennet wears an armoured gauntlet, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reikswald's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

Reikswald is ranked 285,937th in the world and 40th in North Alliance for Most Primitive, scoring -465.67 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
