The Hanate of Ariskaschton is a massive, genial nation, ruled by markiplier with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.544 billion Yathanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hasiphoth. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Yathanese economy, worth 434 trillion Gars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,594 Gars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ariskaschton's national animal is the Ahzabe Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Batharism.

Ariskaschton is ranked 53,743^rd in the world and 1,389^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,692.15 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
