The Collectivist Republic of Ayushvandra is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Rendjana Selesa with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.214 billion Ayushvandrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tungglek. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ayushvandran economy, worth 977 trillion Kepengs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 187,427 Kepengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ayushvandra's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Absurdism.

Ayushvandra is ranked 3,956^th in the world and 195^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 122.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
