The Warriors of Rayllum is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ezran with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.643 billion Rayllumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xadia. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rayllumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,059 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 138,573 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rayllum's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

Rayllum is ranked 274,106th in the world and 10th in Temporary Home for Nicest Citizens, with 0.49 average smiles per day.
