The Republic of Aiy is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 18 million Aiyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 47.1%.

The Aiyian economy, worth 741 billion deniers a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,181 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aiy's national animal is the dove.

Aiy is ranked 54,320^th in the world and 260^th in Pacifism for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,511.54 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
