The Eccentric Republic of Airy Trees is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 5.782 billion Airy Treesians 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Airy Treesian economy, worth 116 trillion ejections a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 20,074 ejections, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Airy Trees's national animal is the banjection, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Airy Trees is ranked 245,346^th in the world and 9,111^th in the South Pacific for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 7.5 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
