The Kingdom of Radicaster is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dritim II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.489 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, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bettertopia City. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Radicastrian economy, worth a remarkable 7,785 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 502,672 stonks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50. 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 1,982^nd in the world and 95^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 812.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
