The People's Republic of Aryax is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Stanislav Tyrankov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, prohibition of alcohol, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.711 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 3,514 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 Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 361,930 units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Aryaxian Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, the government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, and relationships often break down when doctors tell couples they are genetically incompatible. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aryax's national animal is the orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aryax is ranked 153^rd in the world and 1^st in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 265.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
