The Empire of Aigeus is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Princeps Omnium with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.73 billion Aigeusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra Aurea. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aigeusian economy, worth 714 trillion euros 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 191,475 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the entire entry for Aigeus in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals. Crime is totally unknown. Aigeus's national animal is the jackass penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Aigeus is ranked 47,647^th in the world and 2^nd in Penguin Land for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.85 percentage of bribes refused.
