The Republic of Aquila Islands is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Nicolas Chevrolet with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.107 billion Aquila Islanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grimmsborough. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aquila Islander economy, worth 184 trillion Aquila Islander Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,534 Aquila Islander Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquila Islands's national animal is the White-Tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aquila Islands is ranked 155,306^th in the world and 6,167^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 585.16 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
