The State of Aquilaee is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vincent Augustine with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.226 billion Aquilans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artsivtikrong. The average income tax rate is 47.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Aquilaeean economy, worth 288 trillion Aqças a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 129,755 Aqças, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Deceased relatives are considered property to buy and sell, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, the well-to-do in the South Pacific are never on time for important appointments, and female smokers cut their hair and don suits to get into male-only clubs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquilaee's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aquilaee is ranked 245,537^th in the world and 3,289^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.96 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
