The Democratic Republic of Ayrshi is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Basil Moore with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 2.822 billion Ayrshians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sochji. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ayrshian economy, worth 185 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,717 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", earrings are the hottest way to make a political statement, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ayrshi's national animal is the Black eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ayrshi is ranked 6,215^th in the world and 271^st in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 10,338.8 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
