The People's Republic of Aryax is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Stanislav Tyrankov with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, avowedly heterosexual populace, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 1.737 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkanoviverna. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Aryaxian economy, worth 271 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 fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 156,152 units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political activists are routinely executed, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, and carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 203,905^th in the world and 1,595^th in 10000 Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 3.9 Obesity Rate.
