The Protectorate of Aritan Rairotyistan is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 225 million Aritan Rairotyistanians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Aritan Rairotyistanian economy, worth 19.4 trillion Drams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,007 Drams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Aritan Rairotyistan City generates millions of views, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes, and fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aritan Rairotyistan's national animal is the Falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Aritan Rairotyistan is ranked 187,610th in the world and 107th in Byzantion for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
