The Hi-Concept Sci-Fi Adventures of Rick Sanchez is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Rick Sanchez with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.287 billion Ricks enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Education, with Defense, Public Transport, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Smith Residence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The all-consuming Rick Sanchez economy, worth a remarkable 2,385 trillion Blemflarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 107,031 Blemflarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 531,713 per year while the poor average 12,188, a ratio of 43.6 to 1.

Factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, and the nation's WA representatives have received a very public sacking after Rick Sanchez allowed its WA membership to lapse. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rick Sanchez's national animal is the Morty, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rick Sanchez is ranked 6,051^st in the world and 4^th in Atlantis for Fattest Citizens, with 23.16 Obesity Rate.
