The Corporate state of Repland is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 826 million Replandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Amsterdam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The powerhouse Replandian economy, worth 78.1 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 94,569 Euros, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 511,870 per year while the poor average 9,033, a ratio of 56.7 to 1.

Back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, a Europeia Tourist Association survey has rated Repland #1 for number twos, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Repland's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Repland is ranked 312,367th in the world and 1,399th in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -8.94 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
