The Red Rose Triads of Belated Raid is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 5.757 billion Belated Raiders are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The strong Belated economy, worth 257 trillion dinners a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,718 dinners, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 288,213 per year while the poor average 2,803, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. Belated Raid's national animal is the doughnut, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Belated Raid is ranked 34,526^th in the world and 1^st in The Dark Vanquishers for Most Armed, with 2.62 Weapons Per Person.
