The Holy Matriarchy of Rainbowa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Princess Rainbow with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 12.375 billion Rainbowans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Versailles. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rainbowan economy, worth 575 trillion Francs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,536 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glamping Rainbowans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and playground injuries are considered academic progress. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rainbowa's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is French Church of Rainbows.

Rainbowa is ranked 28,726th in the world and 1,826th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
