The City of Raseine is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.077 billion Raseineans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Raseinean economy, worth 68.7 trillion First mentioned in 1253s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,067 First mentioned in 1253s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raseine's national animal is the Lithuania, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Raseine is ranked 260,496^th in the world and 4^th in Lithuania for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
