Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kikkorian Colony of Darcy Richards is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.32 billion Darcy Richardsians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.1%.

The strong Darcy Richardsian economy, worth 708 trillion Dollar Bills Y'alls a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 57,491 Dollar Bills Y'alls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 173,586 per year while the poor average 14,832, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

The Darcy Richards Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', all news sources are under strict government control, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darcy Richards's national animal is the Goose.

Darcy Richards is ranked 85,581^st in the world and 3,858^th in Osiris for Most Secular, with 17.85 Atheism Rate.
