The Special Administrative Zone of Rainengrad is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Wiffen Niemeyer with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.56 billion Rainengradians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Franaberline. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Rainengradian economy, worth a remarkable 3,126 trillion Lexells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 296,092 Lexells, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 835,805 per year while the poor average 83,966, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Rainengradian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Wiffen Niemeyer, the explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Rainengrad, the government is funneling billions into Cape Rainengrad following the shuttle crash, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. 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 54,037^th in the world and 1,364^th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 411.44822278408 Days.
