The Dominion of Ricefa is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 425 million Ricefans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricefa City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The powerhouse Ricefan economy, worth 31.4 trillion Ricefan dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 73,819 Ricefan dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Ricefan police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, prison visits increase substantially during election years, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, and Ricefa is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ricefa's national animal is the dog.

Ricefa is ranked 251,698^th in the world and 30^th in The Ricefa for Safest, scoring 22.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
