The Heavenly Realm of Saint Richelieu is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Maria I with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 8.216 billion Saint Richelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bihan Arvor. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Richelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,113 trillion SR Krowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 135,568 SR Krowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Richelieu's national animal is the reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Richelian Orthodoxy.

Saint Richelieu is ranked 189,124th in the world and 4,374th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 63.8057577754 days.
