The Invasion of Rain Delay is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Rose with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.957 billion Roseians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invader Camp. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Rain Delayian economy, worth a remarkable 9,384 trillion Raids a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 303,158 Raids, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

A typical peasant's life cycle leads from birth to the gallows, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and billions of Raids are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rain Delay's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Branch Davidian.

Rain Delay is ranked 45,078^th in the world and 10^th in The Invaders for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,120.9 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
