The Holy Reeteetian Empire of Reeteet is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Obama with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, aversion to nipples, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.259 billion Reeteetians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Obamaville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Reeteetian economy, worth an astonishing 10,159 trillion Reets a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 556,432 Reets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,163,908 per year while the poor average 21,592, a ratio of 192 to 1.

Tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking, the economy is green and the air is black, there's no representation without taxation, and recent converts to Sonic Adventure 2 are just doing it for the love of the game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Reeteet's national animal is the Bama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sonic Adventure 2.

Reeteet is ranked 46,839th in the world and 1st in Wernissage for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.85 Effective Tax Rate.
