The Empire of Aegis-5 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the Chairman with an iron fist, and renowned for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.108 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dust City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Aegis-5 has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Aegis-5's national animal is the Steel Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Credit.

Aegis-5 is ranked 38th in Lazarus and 908th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 16 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
