The Federation of Aya Democratic Republic is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.726 billion Aya are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aya Superstar City. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aya economy, worth 716 trillion Aya Dollars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,136 Aya Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every week is blindness awareness week, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aya Democratic Republic's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aya Democratic Republic is ranked 218,338^th in the world and 133^rd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Conservative, scoring 49 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
