The Kingdom of Radicaster is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dritim II with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.472 billion Radicastrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bettertopia City. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Radicastrian economy, worth a remarkable 7,769 trillion stonks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 502,184 stonks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', foreign governments regularly accuse the Radicastrian military of war crimes, citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Radicaster's national animal is the fighter jet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Linism.

Radicaster is ranked 284,705th in the world and 6,234th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 10.51 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
