The Invasion of Rain Delay is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Rose with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.431 billion Roseians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invader Camp. The average income tax rate is 7.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Rain Delayian economy, worth a remarkable 9,438 trillion Raids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 310,151 Raids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's holy places are littered with doughnut crumbs, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, there's nothing more Rain Delayian than revanchism, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rain Delay's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Branch Davidian.

Rain Delay is ranked 2,774^th in the world and 3^rd in The Invaders for Most Corrupt Governments, with 352.97 kickbacks per hour.
