The United States of Rary is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Darragh Martin with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 10.46 billion Rarians 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 large, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesco. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,771 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 360,539 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, many believe that Darragh Martin's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, and scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rary's national animal is the Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Rary is ranked 290,435^th in the world and 1,461^st in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.96 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
