The Democratic Republic of Ayaupia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 405 million Ayaupians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cayoo. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Ayaupian economy, worth 9.81 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,233 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, glamping Ayaupians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ayaupia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ayaupia is ranked 45,690^th in the world and 1,678^th in The East Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 71.81 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
