The Republic of Rayton is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning turtle population. The hard-working population of 1.553 billion Raytonians 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, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The Raytonian economy, worth 80.9 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 52,115 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rayton's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Rayton is ranked 88,862^nd in the world and 418^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,523.56 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
