The Commonwealth of Aryduddy is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Aryduddyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Aryduddyian economy, worth 435 billion Arries a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 72,500 Arries, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aryduddy's national animal is the Buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aryduddy is ranked 226,931^st in the world and 133^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
