The Republic of Aoeiu is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by George Shaman with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 15.458 billion Aoeiuans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turtle City. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Aoeiuan economy, worth 479 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 31,005 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Critical thinking is grounds for expulsion from university, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, and the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aoeiu's national animal is the cow and its national religion is Atheism.

Aoeiu is ranked 191,198^th in the world and 1,210^th in Pacifism for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 47.04 on the Hayek Index.
