The Dictatorship of Airelle is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 585 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 Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elle. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Airellean economy, worth 48.6 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 83,037 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. 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 246,705^th in the world and 4,983^rd in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -142.17 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
