The Mighty People of Raen is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Morior Milato with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, digital currency, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.727 billion Raenians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rean. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Raenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,185 trillion Tesseracts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 206,968 Tesseracts, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Young people crowd pizza parlors praying to 'The Supreme Pizza, His Immaculate Munchiness', spectating AI chess fans heckle players when they miss a mate-in-twenty-seven opportunity, pinkie promises are a matter of life and death, and cruise ships arrive in their dozens to watch cruise missile tests. Crime is totally unknown. Raen's national animal is the Magpie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stoicism.

Raen is ranked 1,776th in the world and 1st in Cudert for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 29,236.67 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
