The People's Republic of Aryax is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Stanislav Tyrankov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 5.818 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 1,667 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 286,546 units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, the government snoops on private internet connections, citizens are only allowed to view government-approved TV shows, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. 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 935th in the world and 28th in 10000 Islands for Healthiest Citizens, with 35.41 bananas ingested per day.
