The Ainish Free Land of Eggy216 is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Miguel Estévez Velázquez with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.174 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, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ainish City. 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.

Prison visits increase substantially during election years, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Ainish City Times is sold out. Crime is totally unknown. Eggy216's national animal is the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Eggism, and its currency is the Civilie.

Eggy216 is ranked 178th in Social Liberal Union and 29,980th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 151 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
