The Thighs of Takarada Rikka is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Takarada Rikka with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.87 billion Takarada Rikkans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Takarada Rikkan economy, worth 185 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 64,617 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Takarada Rikka's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Takarada Rikka is ranked 111,361^st in the world and 706^th in Herta Space Station for Highest Food Quality, scoring 21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
