The Hanate of Ariskaschton is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by markiplier with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.869 billion Yathanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hasiphoth. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Yathanese economy, worth 477 trillion Gars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,286 Gars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ariskaschton's national animal is the Ahzabe Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Batharism.

Ariskaschton is ranked 282,200^th in the world and 5,526^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Secular, with 9.96 Atheism Rate.
