The Invasion of Rain Delay is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Rose with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, disturbing lack of elderly people, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 26.986 billion Roseians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invader Camp. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Rain Delayian economy, worth a remarkable 8,323 trillion Raids a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 308,445 Raids, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,101,510 per year while the poor average 62,064, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rain Delay's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Branch Davidian.

Rain Delay is ranked 1,094^th in the world and 2^nd in The Invaders for Most Patriotic, with 126.97 flags saluted per person per day.
