The District of Ray Williams is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 43.342 billion Ray Williamsians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Ray Williamsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,700 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 39,226 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 266,692 per year while the poor average 2,107, a ratio of 126 to 1.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, the land is famous throughout the region for its rampant lawlessness, Ray Williams has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Ray Williams in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ray Williams's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ray Williams is ranked 122,539^th in the world and 1^st in Ray for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 83.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
