The Golden State of Rainengrad is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Wiffen Niemeyer with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 18.055 billion Rainengradians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Franaberline. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rainengradian economy, worth a remarkable 6,779 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 common. Average income is an amazing 375,516 Lexells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, Franaberline University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and saying "don't do anything that Wiffen Niemeyer wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal. 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 308,236^th in the world and 5,730^th in The North Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -15.43 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
