The Unified Electorates of Ainslie is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Elliana Gifford with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 11.435 billion Ahnslens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnton. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ainsliean economy, worth a remarkable 1,173 trillion Ahnsens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,620 Ahnsens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maximum security Ainsliean subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ainslie's national animal is the Wallaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ainslie is ranked 237,063^rd in the world and 150^th in The Western Isles for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -13.71 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
