The Corporate Directorate of Raynala is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Director Nakamura with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.468 billion Raynalans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fractorio. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Raynalan economy, worth a remarkable 4,419 trillion Raynalan Scaps a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 354,455 Raynalan Scaps, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,329,376 per year while the poor average 21,043, a ratio of 110 to 1.

Just as students finish their homework it's time for school, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Raynala's national animal is the Wagyu Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hypocrisy.

Raynala is ranked 1,678th in the world and 78th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,578.42 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
