The Federal Republic of Aigania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Adriano Arthur with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 31.942 billion Aiganians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

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 17,148 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 536,860 Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Points each year, and vitriolic divorce proceedings have become prime-time television. 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 111^th in the world and 4^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 233.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
