The Grand Duchy of Raystar is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Fidel Ruz with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, conspicuous electricity pylons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.689 billion Raystarians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santiago. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Raystarian economy, worth 962 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 205,196 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raystar's national animal is the catfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Raystar is ranked 5,064th in the world and 225th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 145,985.92 Standard Monetary Units.
