The Divine State of Reedian is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Trevor Jameson I with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.331 billion Reeders 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reediopilos. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reedish economy, worth a remarkable 8,821 trillion Reedish Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 481,241 Reedish Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children grow up believing the sun to be a myth, mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, and sex changes are routinely performed at Reedian's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Reedian's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Lavigne.

Reedian is ranked 28,006th in the world and 1,603rd in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 39.96 flags saluted per person per day.
