Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Ephemeral States of Aiyaskye is a colossal, economically powerful nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.389 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luna Città. The average income tax rate is 33%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, and Phoenix is one of the most popular forenames in Aiyaskye. Crime is totally unknown. Aiyaskye's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Dollar.

Aiyaskye is ranked 4,516th in the Rejected Realms and 120,666th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 5 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
