The Democratic States of Aeiuo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ralph Nadres with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 11.175 billion Aeiuoans 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, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertyville. The average income tax rate is 6.3%.

The very strong Aeiuoan economy, worth 575 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 51,528 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, children often kick leopards for amusement, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Aeiuo's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Green Wiccan.

Aeiuo is ranked 251,948^th in the world and 30^th in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
