The Union of Ayqala is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Aslan Altınbekgiin with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.266 billion Ayqalans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ay Qalası. The average income tax rate is 52.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Ayqalan economy, worth 524 trillion Altıns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 122,976 Altıns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Survivors of the Great Internet Flame War often recount horror stories of banhammers and DOS attacks, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, politicians look weirdly alike, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ayqala's national animal is the Snow leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ayqala is ranked 28,973rd in the world and 20th in Union Mundial for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
