The Kingdom of Radicaster is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dritim II with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.418 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 International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bettertopia City. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Radicastrian economy, worth a remarkable 7,709 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 500,052 stonks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, patriots insist that size does matter, and the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens. 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 219,130th in the world and 4,632nd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.69 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
