The Dictatorship of Airelle is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 636 million Airelleans 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, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elle. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Airellean economy, worth 52.7 trillion kroner a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,858 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Leader's most personal functions, and Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Airelle's national animal is the bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Airelle is ranked 60,342^nd in the world and 1,679^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,248.77 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
