Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room, corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, and the new one Rickle coin also makes a handy throwing-star. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krickle's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
