The Dictatorship of Airelle is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 613 million Airelleans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elle. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Airellean economy, worth 52.2 trillion kroner a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,161 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Airelle's national animal is the bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Airelle is ranked 58,236^th in the world and 1,276^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,890.22 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
