The Republic of Region 4 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Reg with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 20.75 billion Reg 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 enormous, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Federal District of Columbia. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reg economy, worth a remarkable 3,148 trillion Regs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 151,714 Regs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Reg Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Region 4's national animal is the Reg, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Abrahamism.

Region 4 is ranked 270,352^nd in the world and 27^th in The Allied Republics for Nicest Citizens, with 0.57 average smiles per day.
