The United Socialist States of Raehall is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.874 billion Raehallians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Raehallian economy, worth 104 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 36,323 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, the tragedy of the commons is being tested nationwide but everyone says it's somebody else's problem, and the nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raehall's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Raehall is ranked 111,929^th in the world and 1,532^nd in the Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 27,047.11 Standard Monetary Units.
