The Great Federation of Rainengrad is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Wiffen von Niemeyer with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.446 billion Rainengradians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, 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. The average income tax rate is 45.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Rainengradian economy, worth 859 trillion Lexells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 193,336 Lexells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime is totally unknown. Rainengrad's national animal is the blue eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sunshowerism.

Rainengrad is ranked 10,043^rd in the world and 495^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 95,332.25 Standard Monetary Units.
