The United League of Rald is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Kippogis Djixmon with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working population of 14.413 billion Ralds 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 large government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Kasap. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.2%.

The all-consuming Rald economy, worth a remarkable 1,724 trillion Ezars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 119,680 Ezars, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Rald junkies argue that poppy stalks are ornamental flowers, schoolkids are often mistaken for fast food workers, the giant 80-storey carving of Queen Kippogis Djixmon in Mount Rushless can be seen from space, and companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rald's national animal is the Earth Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Ebenezer.

Rald is ranked 262,900th in the world and 25th in Yochland for Most Primitive, scoring -200.25 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
