The Protectorate of Riko Saikawa is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.912 billion Riko Saikawans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The Riko Saikawan economy, worth 206 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 52,673 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Atheists in the nation feel uneasy living in buildings where they were once vilified, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, Riko Saikawans seem to be catching more chills, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Riko Saikawa's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Riko Saikawa is ranked 198,484^th in the world and 3,442^nd in Ambition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
