The Free Land of AIAR is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.657 billion AIARians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The powerhouse AIARian economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion Dharmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Tourism industry. Average income is an impressive 111,488 Dharmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into AIAR, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime is totally unknown. AIAR's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AIAR is ranked 3,534^th in the world and 4^th in Karma for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,654.12 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
