The Confederacy of Ray Tirkra is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.11 billion Ray Tirkrans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ray Tirkran economy, worth 396 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 187,826 rubles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,693,452 per year while the poor average 2,554, a ratio of 662 to 1.

Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy, exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated', the colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, and men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ray Tirkra's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ray Tirkra is ranked 70,001st in the world and 70th in The Khamen Union for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,493.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
