The Republic of Rainbow Route is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 2.312 billion Rainbow Routeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 38.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Rainbow Routean economy, worth 289 trillion stardusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,186 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The mark of a good ruler is the largeness of his chin, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and shoving people into lockers qualifies you for a ministerial position. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rainbow Route's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rainbow Route is ranked 73,536^th in the world and 1^st in Rainbow Route for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,473.2 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
