The Dictatorship of Airelle is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its national health service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 533 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, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elle. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.

The strong Airellean economy, worth 39.1 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,380 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, bicyclists are banned from major roads, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and destitute athletes are forced to train in the street. 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 26,248^th in the world and 941^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
