The Empire of DragonRayne is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Rayne BlueBlood III with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed population of 2.127 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Indomitable. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Citizens must have a license to operate a computer, the new hit series "DragonRayne's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DragonRayne's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Euro.

DragonRayne is ranked 67th in Atrigeas and 61,909th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
