“Perseverance produces prosperity”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Sultanate of Ayannia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.413 billion Ayannians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ayannian economy, worth 176 trillion Ayannaian Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 125,101 Ayannaian Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Ayannia Blood Tithe, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, and military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ayannia's national animal is the Pink-eyed Toadfrog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ayannia is ranked 37,832^nd in the world and 766^th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 125,101.75 Standard Monetary Units.
