The Christmas Spirit of Rary is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Darragh Martin with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.579 billion Rarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesco. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Rarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,424 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 357,550 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Every workday begins with group therapy, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and the country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rary's national animal is the Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Rary is ranked 281,117^th in the world and 1,402^nd in Europe for Most Devout, with 2.25 prayers per hour.
