The Kingdom of Aystimeria is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 867 million Aystimerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aystimerian economy, worth 71.2 trillion lionesses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,145 lionesses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

National foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, every citizen sounds like a television news anchor, music award shows include surprise polygraph segments, and the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aystimeria's national animal is the Andalusian horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aystimeria is ranked 206,781^st in the world and 10,128^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 52.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
