The Naively Idealistic Republic of Aidang is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Fearless Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.772 billion Aidangians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aidangia. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aidangian economy, worth 392 trillion Pucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,652 Pucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, copyright laws have been abolished, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Aidangian weed picker are way up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aidang's national animal is the Golden snub-nosed monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aidang is ranked 14,984^th in the world and 135^th in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 356.15 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
