The Dramatic Landscape of Rectonia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Harry Fjord with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 6.514 billion Rectonians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duskmire. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rectonian economy, worth 663 trillion Eclipens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,801 Eclipens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rectonia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lunviranism.

Rectonia is ranked 18,881st in the world and 31st in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Developed, scoring 87.14 on the Human Development Index.
