The Federation of Pulau Regata is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Parhaen Jaya Ningrat with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.534 billion Regatans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miw. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pulau economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion Diamonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 212,364 Diamonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,929,753 per year while the poor average 2,684, a ratio of 718 to 1.

Scientific progress marches ever forward with the first ever launch of a cheeseburger into space, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, and many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pulau Regata's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Pulau Regata is ranked 279,660th in the world and 21st in Sulawesi for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -13.42 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
