The Nightmare State of Rainraa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Dictator Dammacis with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, disturbing lack of elderly people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.039 billion Rainraaniaans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ali express NERV. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The Rainraan economy, worth 171 trillion Parkour Jumps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,312 Parkour Jumps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and Rainraan dissenters are begging human rights groups to ignore them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rainraa's national animal is the Parkour, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Parkour.

Rainraa is ranked 6,237^th in the world and 10^th in Declansburg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111 law-abiding acts per hour.
