The Democratic States of Airday is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.154 billion Ardyans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ardyan economy, worth 186 trillion Ardas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 86,686 Ardas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Airday's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Airday is ranked 42,897^th in the world and 542^nd in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.22 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
