The State of Ridiculuum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.533 billion Ridiculuumians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Ridiculuumian economy, worth 614 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 28,547 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,086 per year while the poor average 1,533, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Ridiculuum has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ridiculuum's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ridiculuum is ranked 326,233rd in the world and 1st in Kaliningrad for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -3.16 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
