The Empire of Aquilea Empire is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Constantine the First with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.13 billion Aquilea Empireans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquil. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aquilea Empirean economy, worth 98.9 trillion patriotisms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 87,524 patriotisms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and the nation refuses to provide international aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aquilea Empire's national animal is the Robots, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Imperial House.

Aquilea Empire is ranked 205,020^th in the world and 1^st in Commitee of Nations for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 396.72 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
