The Most Serene Republic of Reple is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 3.136 billion Repleans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 70.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Replean economy, worth 342 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,963 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reple's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Reple is ranked 50,580^th in the world and 129^th in thunder 527 for Most Developed, scoring 77.46 on the Human Development Index.
