The Black Bottom Blues of Ma Rainey is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gertrude Pridgett with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.44 billion Ma Raineyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Russell. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ma Raineyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,969 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 188,603 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, public toilets are famed for their rear entries, and the Ma Raineyian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime is totally unknown. Ma Rainey's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ma Rainey is ranked 16,310th in the world and 13th in The Delta for Most Stationary, with 1,744.67564035132 days.
