The Democratic Republic of Ayaupia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Vr Naaste - Ra Cortec - Ul Onosnel with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.296 billion 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cayoo. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ayaupian economy, worth 95.7 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,663 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, group photos of the members of parliament are often mistaken for family reunions, and the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Cayoo for fear of causing a fuss. 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 Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vatoral - Secularism.

Ayaupia is ranked 32,069^th in the world and 1,024^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.76 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
