The Most Serene Republic of Retcon I is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 11.726 billion Retcon Iians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.6%.

The strong Retcon Iian economy, worth 567 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 48,416 rubledollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime is moderate. Retcon I's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Retcon I is ranked 208,816^th in the world and 1^st in Grey wardens for Highest Drug Use, scoring 90.55 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
