The Republic of Aedixius is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.522 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silere. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Aedixius's schoolchildren are manufactured into a segregated bunch of soldiers, religious zealots, and computer technicians, cars are banned from built-up areas, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and the Red Fox is a protected species. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aedixius's national animal is the Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dinar.

Aedixius is ranked 64th in Asia and 91,802nd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
