The Executive Confederacy of Richmond UK is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Makaveli with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 13.159 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londinium. The average income tax rate is 80%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Uranium Mining.

Nudity is frowned upon, skateparks can be found in every city, people caught mistreating Richmond UK's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Richmond UK's national animal is the Gray Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Lee.

Richmond UK is ranked 54th in Wysteria and 14,637th in the world for Best Weather, with 25 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
