The United States of Aioland is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 32 million Aiolandians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Aiolandian economy, worth 1.42 trillion Yorans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,377 Yorans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, Aiolandian scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and surprising numbers of poor people are protesting against taxing the rich. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aioland's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aioland is ranked 145,118^th in the world and 374^th in Horizon for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 579.11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
