The Islāmī Jumhūriyah of Republiae is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Pierre Sallisz with a fair hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 788 million Republians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bostan. The average income tax rate is 20.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Republian economy, worth 88.6 trillion Stolzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 112,461 Stolzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Funny-looking kids are stood at the front of the classroom for everybody to point and laugh at, refugees from other nations are flocking to Republiae's border, the government funds large training centres to turn Great Auks into functioning members of society, and motorway service stations often have a higher population than the hinterland villages that the roads lead to. Crime is almost non-existent. Republiae's national animal is the Great Auk, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Republiae is ranked 131,602^nd in the world and 2,815^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 67.82 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
