The Holy Theocratic Kingdom of Richardian Savoy is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Richard with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.137 billion Richardians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smithfield. The average income tax rate is 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Richardi economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion angevin genistas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 241,933 angevin genistas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays, Richardians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, and the national Police Academies have dedicated infant wings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Richardian Savoy's national animal is the white hart, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Richardian Savoy is ranked 15,464^th in the world and 1^st in Toomtellingham for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,671.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
