The Democratic States of Airday is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.055 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 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ardyan economy, worth 274 trillion Ardas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 89,765 Ardas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Ardyan Space Agency, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, group hugs break out during floor votes, and the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency. 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 159,576^th in the world and 906^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 67.8 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
