The Republic of Ricky Ding is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The quiet, industrious population of 14.269 billion Ricky Dingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ricky Dingian economy, worth 483 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,875 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, and farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ricky Ding's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ricky Ding is ranked 112,919^th in the world and 3^rd in Amestris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 746.17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
