The Cloud of Rain is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rainman with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 29.366 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rain City. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Rainian economy, worth 621 trillion Rains a year, is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,179 Rains, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and young girls often attend the same schools as their children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rain's national animal is the trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cloudism.

Rain is ranked 200,288^th in the world and 7^th in Asia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 98.29 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
