The Great Empire of Rayhanica is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rayhan Usmanu with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 11.789 billion Rayhanicans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rayhanica. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rayhanican economy, worth a remarkable 2,080 trillion Rayhanican Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,512 Rayhanican Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, group hugs break out during floor votes, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and war vets look after war animals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rayhanica's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Rayhanica is ranked 12,123^rd in the world and 574^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 391.2 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
