The Socialist Commonwealth of Raeun is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Consul Arkyn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.061 billion Raeunians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcturia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Raeunian economy, worth a remarkable 4,364 trillion Richters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 334,162 Richters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, there's no such thing as bad publicity, romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars, and the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning. Crime is totally unknown. Raeun's national animal is the Cougar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zinroastrianism.

Raeun is ranked 316,032^nd in the world and 3,616^th in the Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
