The Nomadic Peoples of Ariyazana is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Cishpish-Theispas the Kambojan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.409 billion Ariyazanans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.4%.
The Ariyazanan economy, worth 950 trillion Zends a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 76,584 Zends, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 402,082 per year while the poor average 7,801, a ratio of 51.5 to 1.
The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, rumor has it that Cishpish-Theispas the Kambojan has won three lotteries in a row, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ariyazana's national animal is the horse.
Ariyazana is ranked 130,886th in the world and 48th in The World Rearranged for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
