The Democratic States of Aesi is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Dr Joe Obama Jr the Third with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.588 billion Aesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyria. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aesian economy, worth 442 trillion Kyres a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,460 Kyres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Auditors are gutting every governmental department, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', most Kyre coins are riddled with bite marks, and a flying elephant and Dr Joe Obama Jr the Third share the same nickname. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aesi's national animal is the Red tailed hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aesi is ranked 24,827^th in the world and 896^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
