The Ocean world of Ricalda is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 693 million Ricaldans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cython. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ricaldan economy, worth 56.8 trillion Felons a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,025 Felons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, punitive tariffs protect local industry, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime 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 46,251^st in the world and 1^st in Rainy peninsula for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
