The Aeronautical Republic of Rahlon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Papios 'PAPI' Alettone with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.853 billion Rahlonians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matelieri. The average income tax rate is 39.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rahlonian economy, worth 594 trillion cuoris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,513 cuoris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Rahlon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rahlon's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Voloism.

Rahlon is ranked 70,297^th in the world and 2^nd in Aerodise for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,092 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
