The Commonwealth of Remanescente is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 50 million Remanescentes are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Public Transport, Education, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Remanescente economy, worth 957 billion Pragmatikós 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Book Publishing, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 19,137 Pragmatikós, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, and the well-to-do in Europe are never on time for important appointments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Remanescente's national animal is the Thalássio Liontári, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Remanescente is ranked 322,633^rd in the world and 848^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.94 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
