The Imperial Monarchy of Riecham is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Alyssia Caledonii with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 37.301 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 receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caledonia. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Riechese economy, worth a remarkable 5,147 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 138,002 Rylads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The taste of spices can sail a thousand ships, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and the government is proudly free of crabs. 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 2,652^nd in the world and 6^th in Absolution for Largest Populations, with 37.3 billion capita.
