The Republic of Recaxa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Diana Zorreguieta with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The democratic population of 4.432 billion Recaxans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Lucia. The average income tax rate is 32.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Recaxan economy, worth 458 trillion Pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 103,422 Pesetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, major cities run on potato batteries, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, and adjacent suburbs build competing earthworks to force the other neighbourhood to flood first. Crime is totally unknown. Recaxa's national animal is the Black Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Recaxa is ranked 23,562^nd in the world and 452^nd in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
