The Republic of Aristophiles is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 1.037 billion Aristophilians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Aristophilesian economy, worth 25.8 trillion Nobility International Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,833 Nobility International Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, military spending is on the increase, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown. Aristophiles's national animal is the Heraldic Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aristophiles is ranked 13,215^th in the world and 1^st in Order of Power for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.24 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
