The People's Republic of Aryax is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Stanislav Tyrankov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, cheerful population of 6.124 billion Aryaxians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkanoviverna. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Aryaxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,790 trillion units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 292,426 units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
