The People's Republic of 8Rick12345 is a large, genial nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 157 million 8Rick12345ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish 8Rick12345ian economy, worth 4.49 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 28,625 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, soporific speeches from Leader have left the opposition utterly knocked out, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 8Rick12345's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

8Rick12345 is ranked 69,960^th in the world and 621^st in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
