The Colony of Ra-ah is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-working, democratic population of 180 million Ra-ah'ns are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ra-ahian economy, worth 11.7 trillion Ram's a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,217 Ram's, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water, and the Ra-ahian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ra-ah's national animal is the Royal Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ra-ah is ranked 29,066^th in the world and 33^rd in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,735.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
