The Queendom of Raycena is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Rayner with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 37.12 billion Raycenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raycena City. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Raycenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,724 trillion Galleons a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,392 Galleons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, the internal market is thriving, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raycena's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christendom.

Raycena is ranked 9,810^th in the world and 555^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
