The Empire of R3-a is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 741 million R3-ans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped R3-an economy, worth 32.5 trillion Nutzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 43,891 Nutzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. R3-a's national animal is the Cobra.

R3-a is ranked 229,310^th in the world and 2^nd in The Planet Renooth Invader Official for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 729.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
