The Celestial Trail of Rainbow Road

“It’s The Place You Go When You Die”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Celestial Trail of Rainbow Road is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rosalina with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.2 billion Rainbows hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mushroom City. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The strong Rainbow economy, worth 484 trillion Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 59,033 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, surveillance cameras are banned, Rosalina has just been declared ruler of Rainbow Road in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rainbow Road's national animal is the Chain Chomp and its national religion is Rainbowism.

Rainbow Road is ranked 240,966^th in the world and 1,401^st in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
