Republic: The limited run..

A limited-edition version of the Republic album was also released in the United States. Although the tracks are the same as the normal release, the packaging is entirely different. Instead of a jewel case, the CD comes in a folding wallet made of bright orange vinyl with foam inside, giving it the appearance of a floatation device or life jacket. The CD is also redesigned, with no words but a picture of several orange rubber inner tubes against a background of flames, a reference to the cover artwork. The booklet, tucked into a pocket of the vinyl wallet, is the same as the standard version, but made of a plastic waterproof material instead of paper.
