The Confederacy of Ray Tirkra is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.084 billion Ray Tirkrans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ray Tirkran economy, worth 390 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 187,456 rubles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,690,165 per year while the poor average 2,548, a ratio of 663 to 1.

Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the swagger of covering up is unparalleled, military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, and it is rumoured that Leader uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ray Tirkra's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ray Tirkra is ranked 89,467th in the world and 66th in The Khamen Union for Most Developed, scoring 64.22 on the Human Development Index.
