The Equitable Free Society of Aionia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Aionian Leadership Council with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.779 billion Aionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cathodica. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Aionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,713 trillion Aionic Centums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,267 Aionic Centums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aionia's national animal is the Aionian forest cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aionia is ranked 328,783^rd in the world and 4,150^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -10.66 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
