The Imperial Monarchy of Riecham is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Empress Alyssia Caledonii with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 36.865 billion Riechese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caledonia. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Riechese economy, worth a remarkable 5,056 trillion Rylads a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,176 Rylads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Private surgeons have been told to cut it out, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and it's faster to buy a new device than wait for your old one to be fixed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riecham's national animal is the Whitecomb Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Riecham is ranked 60,643^rd in the world and 6^th in Absolution for Most Corrupt Governments, with 37.05 kickbacks per hour.
