The Democratic Republic of Ricore is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Norbert Michelange with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.728 billion Breakfasts enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rififi Lumière. The average income tax rate is 48.9%.

The all-consuming Ricoréan economy, worth 818 trillion biscottes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,725 biscottes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, the government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ricore's national animal is the marsupilami, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bilingualism.

Ricore is ranked 72,314^th in the world and 4^th in Lewisham for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
