Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Sun-baked Shadeless Oasis of Worshippers of Ra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Speaker for Ra with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14.07 billion are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although Public Transport and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government has outlawed extremist parties, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, Worshippers of Ra's newly-famous raindances to summon storms instead attract tourists from all over Texas, and procrastination is a national sport. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Worshippers of Ra's national animal is the Dust Devil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ankh.

Worshippers of Ra is ranked 52nd in Texas and 39,651st in the world for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 0 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
