The Ocean world of Ricalda is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by EFC Louis Varius with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 763 million Ricaldans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cython. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ricaldan economy, worth 76.0 trillion Felons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,621 Felons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Ricaldan mussels the biggest in Rainy peninsula. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ricalda's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ricalda is ranked 74,241^st in the world and 2^nd in Rainy peninsula for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,702.34 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
