The Solar Empire of Aegidian is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 4.272 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aegea. The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', and even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aegidian's national animal is the Spartan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the ·Æ·.

Aegidian is ranked 31st in Osiris and 1,387th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 18 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
