The Psychotic Dictatorship of Aiporhtse is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Xa Scorpio with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, zero percent divorce rate, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.782 billion Aiporhtseians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellivonhcara. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aiporhtseian economy, worth 143 trillion Bloodcells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,261 Bloodcells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill an Aiporhtseian can expect a strongly worded letter, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, the diplomatic corps stinks, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aiporhtse's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Aiporhtse is ranked 38,703^rd in the world and 3^rd in Nova Britannia Prima for Most Extreme, scoring 35.1 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
