The Federation of San Ricargo is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Johnson Abdoel William with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.241 billion San Ricargoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Ricargo City. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient San Ricargoan economy, worth 139 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,681 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen, the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to San Ricargo" on tails, and prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. San Ricargo's national animal is the Carrion Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sunni - Islam.

San Ricargo is ranked 35,041^st in the world and 47^th in Aesica for Highest Poor Incomes, with 69,016.46 Standard Monetary Units.
