The Republic of A Raida is a titanic, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 11.738 billion Raidans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.4%.

The Raidan economy, worth 580 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 49,413 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Raida's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

A Raida is ranked 69,317^th in the world and 1^st in Room 101 for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,973.2 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
