The Warriors of Rayllum is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ezran with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.917 billion Rayllumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xadia. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rayllumian economy, worth a remarkable 2,095 trillion golds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 162,238 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rayllum's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

Rayllum is ranked 30,781^st in the world and 7^th in Temporary Home for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,634.82 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
