The Republic of Aihon is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by James with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.73 billion Aihonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nieuwe Opstandsstad. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Aihonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,493 trillion Jeens a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,696 Jeens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families make most of their annual income from government benefits, diplomats miss flights while wandering Nieuwe Opstandsstad Airport's endless art maze, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, and juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aihon's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aihon is ranked 7,404^th in the world and 154^th in The East Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 108.6 quips per hour.
