The Empire of Aikoland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Mélodie Bélanger with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 29.84 billion Aikolandais enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Education, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ville d'Aiko. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Aikolandais economy, worth an astonishing 10,798 trillion Aikolandais francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 361,881 Aikolandais francs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,570,047 per year while the poor average 16,923, a ratio of 151 to 1.

Land owners find the earth being pulled out from under them, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, the government is full of big cheese, and hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Aikoland's many privately-owned prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Aikoland's national animal is the Aikolandais crested eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aikoland is ranked 51,608^th in the world and 5^th in Osakaland for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,621.31 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
