The Invasion of Rain Delay is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Rose with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.474 billion Roseians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invader Camp. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Rain Delayian economy, worth a remarkable 6,975 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 common. Average income is an amazing 273,810 Raids, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, organ donation is compulsory, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. 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 14,528th in the world and 8th in The Invaders for Most Cultured, scoring 102 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
