The People's Republic of Aryax is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Stanislav Tyrankov with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.788 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkanoviverna. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Aryaxian economy, worth a remarkable 3,553 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 363,025 units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters, and the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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 2,221^st in the world and 47^th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,497.02 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
