The Federation of Radicaster is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Tô Ðức Tường with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.425 billion Radicastrians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balresk. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Radicastrian economy, worth 580 trillion Federation Reserve Notes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,382 Federation Reserve Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, mandatory daycare is provided by the government, and citizens must pay to enjoy Radicaster's pristine beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Radicaster's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Radicaster is ranked 176,631^st in the world and 9,915^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 9.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
