The State of Aeget is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 38.343 billion Aegetians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aegetian economy, worth a remarkable 2,053 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,551 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, Aeget has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Aeget in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Aeget's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force. Aeget's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aeget is ranked 114,170^th in the world and 1^st in Zambia for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,208.5 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
