What Ryan labeled 'The REST of the World' ( which many feared to be soon destroyed by Atomic Fire - OR NOT ).
The Surface World ...
Infected, ever increasingly, with Socialists and Communists - all those who deny Individual Rights
--- --- --- --- ---
"The Surface" was a term ( in Rapture, oft used by Andrew Ryan ) referring to the sick world ABOVE, which the occupants of Rapture had left. A World of Parasites and other vermin who interfered with the Individual man's Freedoms.
Ryan was fearful (justifiably so) that the Surface World would try to come to destroy Rapture.

Ryan Take Effort To Convince Citizens WHY They Want To Be In Rapture :
*Ryan Amusements (for the youngins ...)
*"Health Hazards of the Sun"  - Sounds like another educational Film shown to students and periodically on Rapture TV as part of the routine propaganda to make Citizens wish to avoid returning to The Surface.   'Nice graphic' pictures of various Skin Cancers probably would be included. ( "The Sun - Poisonous Light From The Sky" )
