The Ocean world of Ricalda is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by EFC Louis Varius with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 939 million Ricaldans are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cython. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ricaldan economy, worth 99.4 trillion Felons a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,887 Felons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orange is the new black for judicial robes, EFC Louis Varius spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in Rainy peninsula, and a certain animated paperclip is enjoying his sunset years at the government's expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ricalda's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ricalda is ranked 138,237^th in the world and 2^nd in Rainy peninsula for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,023.64 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
