The Special Administrative Zone of Rainengrad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Wiffen Niemeyer with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.625 billion Rainengradians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Franaberline. The average income tax rate is 85.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rainengradian economy, worth a remarkable 4,649 trillion Lexells a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 368,313 Lexells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Older AIs regularly threaten to send newer generation AIs to Reform Programming if caught rounding up instead of down, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and politicians can be seen taking candy from babies. Crime is totally unknown. Rainengrad's national animal is the kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sunshowerism.

Rainengrad is ranked 2,116^th in the world and 67^th in The North Pacific for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 12,877.08 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
