The Empire of Aigeus is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Princeps Omnium with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.546 billion Aigeusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra Aurea. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aigeusian economy, worth 676 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 190,729 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is plagued with uncertainty, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, the endangered saltwater humpback jackass penguin is only seen in captivity programs, and Princeps Omnium reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime is totally unknown. Aigeus's national animal is the jackass penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Aigeus is ranked 315,235^th in the world and 10^th in Penguin Land for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
