The Sentai Team of PR Lightspeed Rescue is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Carter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.84 billion Rangers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mariner Bay. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Power Ranger economy, worth a remarkable 2,312 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 235,047 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PR Lightspeed Rescue's national animal is the zord, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

PR Lightspeed Rescue is ranked 19,057th in the world and 177th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,650.78520738568 days.
