The Empire of The Rechelick is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by BouncingToast with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 2.577 billion Rechelickianses have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Rechelick Metropolitan Area. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rechelichian economy, worth 278 trillion Crumbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 107,925 Crumbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, and adult unemployment is rising as available jobs are filled by young children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rechelick's national animal is the Yeast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spud Protectorate.

The Rechelick is ranked 171,606^th in the world and 62^nd in Spiritus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 227.91 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
