The Empire of Rayansia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, devout population of 74 million Rayansians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 54.2%.

The Rayansian economy, worth 3.30 trillion Rayansian Golds a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,543 Rayansian Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, the nation's smallest Sea Lionball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, and politicians look weirdly alike. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rayansia's national animal is the Sea Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Rayansia is ranked 238,991^st in the world and 4,673^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
