The Kingdom of Ayshire is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Henry Campbell with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.951 billion Ayshireans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edinburgh. The average income tax rate is 85.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ayshirean economy, worth 464 trillion Ayshirean pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,559 Ayshirean pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Most ambassadors from Ayshire retire only a few years after being appointed, the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Ayshireans, cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics, and there's never enough space in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ayshire's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Ayshire is ranked 126,269^th in the world and 584^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 924.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
