The Republic of Repica is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, digital currency, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 251 million Repicans 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 Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Repican economy, worth 14.9 trillion reps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 59,328 reps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, many believe that Leader's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, the automobile industry is sitting up and taking notice of the new 24 hour race events... as are the track's sleepless neighbours, and tax assessment offices double as polling stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Repica's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Repica is ranked 94,934^th in the world and 1,974^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 88.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
