The Grand Duchy of Radictistan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Duke Xenocimedes Radicti with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The humorless population of 38.965 billion Radictistanis 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuxenstat. The average income tax rate is 14.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Radictistani economy, worth a remarkable 2,292 trillion Radins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 58,827 Radins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The Radictistani Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, the nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in Apathia, and retired racing Hornets are served truffles for breakfast. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Radictistan's national animal is the Hornet, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Radictistan is ranked 117,347^th in the world and 1^st in Apathia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,508.13 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
