The Cannibalistic Wasteland of ReeK is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kim Don Zeus with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 22.542 billion Cunning Horis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ile Du Haast. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hori economy, worth a remarkable 5,306 trillion Aborted Foetuses a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 235,392 Aborted Foetuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, Kim Don Zeus is called 'Patches' at international summits, and the government pours millions of Aborted Foetuses into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ReeK's national animal is the Retired Porn Star, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Easter Worshipophobia.

ReeK is ranked 267,577^th in the world and 4,627^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
