The Most Serene Republic of Air Temple Island is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.293 billion Air Temple Islandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 35.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Air Temple Islandian economy, worth 321 trillion yuan a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,210 yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, finding half a worm in your apple is an arrestable offense, and octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it. Crime is totally unknown. Air Temple Island's national animal is the flying bison.

Air Temple Island is ranked 252,836^th in the world and 35^th in Union of Allied Planets for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -33.17 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
