The Invasion of Rain Delay is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Rose with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.897 billion Roseians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invader Camp. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Rain Delayian economy, worth a remarkable 9,359 trillion Raids a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 302,925 Raids, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats miss flights while wandering Invader Camp Airport's endless art maze, candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, old cars must undergo mandatory sensitivity training, and the government has returned all business to private ownership. 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 107,075^th in the world and 38^th in The Invaders for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,329.16 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
