The Dominion of Ricefa is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 268 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, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricefa City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The powerhouse Ricefan economy, worth 18.3 trillion Ricefan dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 68,376 Ricefan dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens need to demonstrate a complete set of dental records to throw five bucks in a hobo's hat, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ricefa's national animal is the dog.

Ricefa is ranked 222,011^th in the world and 15^th in The Ricefa for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.17 percentage of bribes refused.
