The Imperium Summa of Richmore is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Summa Emperor Camio von Schameister with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.773 billion Richmoreans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deisterra. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Richmorean economy, worth 576 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,905 marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 578,173 per year while the poor average 8,217, a ratio of 70.4 to 1.

You can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, contestants on Richmore's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, and thousands of former pirates can be found peddling knockoff products in flea markets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Richmore's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lumina Fidei.

Richmore is ranked 217,182nd in the world and 379th in Council of Asia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 786 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
