The District of Resergens is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.625 billion Resergensians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Resergensian economy, worth a remarkable 1,294 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,686 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,789 per year while the poor average 2,705, a ratio of 104 to 1.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Resergens's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Resergens is ranked 127,920^th in the world and 198^th in Ancient Lands for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 843.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
