The Empire of Aequipo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 527 million aequis are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanmifre. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong aequipolitan economy, worth 39.3 trillion Cruzadoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,643 Cruzadoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aequipolitan tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, medical lawsuits are out of control, and the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aequipo's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aequipo is ranked 226,975^th in the world and 1^st in Iron Alliance for Largest Populations, with 527 million capita.
