The Corporate States of Aeioux is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by GOV-AI Xerathul with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.154 billion Aeiouxians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illion. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aeiouxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,937 trillion Dust Particles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,907 Dust Particles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every workday begins with group therapy, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft, and no one gossips with GOV-AI Xerathul during diplomatic summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aeioux's national animal is the Grey Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aeioux is ranked 252,137^th in the world and 158^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 44.79 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
