The Federal Republic of Reform City is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 186 million Reform Cityians 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 enormous, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Reform Cityian economy, worth 5.19 trillion Moedoes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 27,881 Moedoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, sheep-like political loyalists repeat the mantra "one wheel bad, three wheels good", tumbleweed drifts through the nation's shopping centres during the weekends, and marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reform City's national animal is the Zebro, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Reform City is ranked 227,784^th in the world and 1,225^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 9.59 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
