The Kingdom at Sea of Independent Isle of Reuceu is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Captain Reuben with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.613 billion Reuceuans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King Reuceu's Revenge. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Reuceuian economy, worth a remarkable 2,314 trillion Reucoins 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda 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 an amazing 268,671 Reucoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,182,510 per year while the poor average 38,318, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Children usually cry on their first day of school, gun ownership is compulsory, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Independent Isle of Reuceu's national animal is the Megalodon shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Independent Isle of Reuceu is ranked 196,423rd in the world and 4,562nd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,091.26 Standard Monetary Units.
