The Federal Republic of Aigania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Adriano Arthur with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 31.9 billion Aiganians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Progreso. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Aiganian economy, worth an astonishing 17,121 trillion Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 536,722 Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing. Crime is totally unknown. Aigania's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aiganiaism.

Aigania is ranked 291,038^th in the world and 11,431^st in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -34.32 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
