The Republic of Winding Rain is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Rhyan Torrent with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 4.106 billion Rainians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rayna. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Winding Rainian economy, worth 433 trillion torrents a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,607 torrents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Superfoods are often seen as supervillains, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, movie references are legally admissible in court, and foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Winding Rain's national animal is the hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Winding Rain is ranked 11,413^th in the world and 527^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,074.27 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
