The Kingdom of North Rainier is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King January II with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 8.611 billion North Rainiens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raidiff. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming North Rainien economy, worth 768 trillion Rainien Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,266 Rainien Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lottery winners spend most of their money on security, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", and diplomats in North Rainier are furious at constant police surveillance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Rainier's national animal is the Hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Rainistic.

North Rainier is ranked 24,223^rd in the world and 234^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
