The Revolutionary Government of Radicaster is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Regent Hyong Sung-Jin with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.665 billion Kasterians 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, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gwangseong. The average income tax rate is 90.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kasterian economy, worth a remarkable 8,976 trillion Kasterian won 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 Uranium Mining. 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 538,651 Kasterian won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Radicaster, and a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun. 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 152 mm shell, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is atheism.

Radicaster is ranked 210th in the world and 9th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 56,448.14 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
