The Empire of R3X is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nick Uchiha with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.07 billion Bakas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Za Warudo. The average income tax rate is 42.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Baka economy, worth 401 trillion Starbucks Napkins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 194,094 Starbucks Napkins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and kids only know what plants are because they've seen them on the television. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. R3X's national animal is the Rengoku, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rengokuism.

R3X is ranked 273,197^th in the world and 6,041^st in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 36.31 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
