The Kingdom of Rikara is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Antonio Cufaci with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.826 billion Rikarans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Copenhagen. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rikaran economy, worth 668 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,787 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captured Brasilistani POWs are staying in 5-star hotels, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rikara's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Rikara is ranked 22,466^th in the world and 4^th in PSUSH for Highest Food Quality, scoring 109.22 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
