The Just a Zalannian puppet of AekI is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.097 billion AekIians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The thriving AekIian economy, worth 86.3 trillion Llabtaems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 78,668 Llabtaems, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 565,905 per year while the poor average 3,522, a ratio of 160 to 1.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AekI's national animal is the AA, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

AekI is ranked 172,164^th in the world and 11^th in Banfield for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,302.57 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
