The Red Holy People of Riocht mor Daraen is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President-Magistrate with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.47 billion Daraenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rome. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Daraenian economy, worth 809 trillion Denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 148,057 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pony-derived products are greasing the wheels of industry (Riocht mor Daraen has found 3 easter eggs), crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies. Crime is totally unknown. Riocht mor Daraen's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Riocht mor Daraen is ranked 7,161^st in the world and 358^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,206.42 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
