The Dominion of Ricefa is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 286 million Ricefans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricefa City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The powerhouse Ricefan economy, worth 19.8 trillion Ricefan dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 69,252 Ricefan dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, they say that Ricefans made a dessert and called it peace, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ricefa's national animal is the dog.

Ricefa is ranked 149,009^th in the world and 14^th in The Ricefa for Highest Poor Incomes, with 24,194.47 Standard Monetary Units.
