The Republic of Rick the Rectangle is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, one can walk from one side of Rick the Rectangle City to the other without setting foot on Rick the Rectanglean soil, international trade can be a pain to deal with, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rick the Rectangle's national animal is the Rick, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
