The Democratic Republic of Rilicon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Astreum Ito with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.057 billion Riliconians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diric. The average income tax rate is 32.3%.

The very strong Riliconian economy, worth 81.0 trillion Kramen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 76,641 Kramen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', citizens have never heard foreign radio, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and Astreum Ito has just been declared ruler of Rilicon in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rilicon's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Rilicon is ranked 60,755^th in the world and 30^th in United Commonwealth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,690.56 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
