The Bannorn of Rathylar is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Bann Carn vos Zuccu with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.45 billion Rathylarians 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 Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ratha. The average income tax rate is 14.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Rathylarian economy, worth 841 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,568 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rathylar's national animal is the mouse and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Rathylar is ranked 61,875^th in the world and 1^st in the Channel Islands for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,243.25 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
