The Dictatorship of Airelle is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 560 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 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Airellean economy, worth 43.2 trillion kroner a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,153 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and what goes down must come up. 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 23,158^th in the world and 910^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
