The Peaceable Republic of RayeStan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josh Frankster with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.131 billion RayeStanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rayestania. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient RayeStanian economy, worth 774 trillion Rayeons a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 151,012 Rayeons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime is totally unknown. RayeStan's national animal is the Hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Raya.

RayeStan is ranked 269,507^th in the world and 151^st in The Free Nations Region for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.48 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
