The Democratic States of Aeuoi is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Francis with a fair hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.849 billion Aeuoians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ruby City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Aeuoian economy, worth 831 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 49,349 marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,978 per year while the poor average 3,204, a ratio of 98.0 to 1.

Eminent domain has been abolished, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, and citizens are abandoning their homes en masse in a widespread panic over asbestos. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Aeuoi's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Druidism.

Aeuoi is ranked 79,014^th in the world and 1^st in aeiou for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,079.44 Standard Monetary Units.
