The State of Ridiculuum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 20.008 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 571 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 88,911^th in the world and 1^st in Kaliningrad for Most Primitive, scoring 15.81 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
