The Commonwealth of Rex Republic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jmasrus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.367 billion Rex Republicians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rexburg. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rex Republician economy, worth a remarkable 5,156 trillion Rexes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 230,560 Rexes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular scientists are shunned by name, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, it is mandatory for actors to exit stage left, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rex Republic's national animal is the Arapaima, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bite Me.

Rex Republic is ranked 285,189^th in the world and 6,275^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -17.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
