The Federal Republic of Aerigia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Andrew Yang with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 19.871 billion Aerigians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aden. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aerigian economy, worth a remarkable 5,409 trillion Mons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 272,252 Mons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most academic research has ground to a halt, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Eckie-Ecola and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aerigia's national animal is the Golden falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aerigia is ranked 303,361^st in the world and 13^th in The Heartland for Fattest Citizens, with 1.81 Obesity Rate.
