The Community of Retcon XI is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 6.453 billion Retcon XIians 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The Retcon XIian economy, worth 292 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,256 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, surveillance cameras are banned, Harry Potter books are banned, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Retcon XI's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Retcon XI is ranked 158,648^th in the world and 1^st in New Lorania for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,350.22 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
