The Empire of South Airlandia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Max Holland with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.79 billion South Airlandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airlandia City. The average income tax rate is 86.3%.

The very strong South Airlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion Airlands a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 119,642 Airlands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of Airlands are being blown on orbital weapons development, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, employers are gradually adapting to the alien premise of paying wages to their workers, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Airlandia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South Airlandia is ranked 12,770^th in the world and 2^nd in Region Name for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
