The Golden State of Rainengrad is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Wiffen Niemeyer with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 21.95 billion Rainengradians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Franaberline. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Rainengradian economy, worth a remarkable 9,025 trillion Lexells a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 411,164 Lexells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, and "The Pride of the Rainengradian Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil. Crime is totally unknown. Rainengrad's national animal is the golden gator, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sunshowerism.

Rainengrad is ranked 2,929^th in the world and 139^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 97.31 on the Human Development Index.
