The Imperial Islands of Riecham is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Alyssia Caledonii with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 32.241 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 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riechese economy, worth a remarkable 4,123 trillion Rylads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,898 Rylads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, war vets look after war animals, you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, and some paycheques only arrive every 12 to 24 weeks. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Riecham is ranked 3,680th in the world and 7th in Absolution for Most Stationary, with 3,605.70602568 days.
