The Commune of Raicpleria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Moralosky Ranchsky with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.154 billion Raicplerians 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.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grading Youths. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Raicplerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion Soubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 184,635 Soubles, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody expected the fruit inquisition, dream holidays often go awry, members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, and teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living.

Raicpleria's national animal is the Yellow Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Vander'.
