The Strex Corp Subsidiary of Restorza is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Smiling God with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.729 billion Restorzans 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, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desert Bluffs. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Restorzan economy, worth a remarkable 6,697 trillion Schmeckles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 454,707 Schmeckles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,673,106 per year while the poor average 36,044, a ratio of 74.2 to 1.
This year's hottest seller is plenary indulgence, parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park, major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, and mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Restorza's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Strex Corp.
Restorza is ranked 290,891st in the world and 7,004th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 0.72 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
