The Absolute State of Aingard is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no surike with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.672 billion Aingardians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kansai Dorifto. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aingardian economy, worth 469 trillion ainzes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,822 ainzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, foreign despots proudly bandstand on Aingardian airwaves, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aingard's national animal is the sakura fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Proteccshunism.

Aingard is ranked 1,735^th in the world and 214^th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 273.55 Bank.
