The Dolphin Confederation of Lys Deks Rahry is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Jake Hughes with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.616 billion Rahryians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of dolphin bay. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rahryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,113 trillion Souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 129,201 Souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, and weekends are spent tilting at windmills. Crime is totally unknown. Lys Deks Rahry's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is the church of dolphins.

Lys Deks Rahry is ranked 11,302^nd in the world and 13^th in Karma for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
