The Free Land of Kimaeus is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Tomas Quintal with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.581 billion Aeusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of James. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Aeusian economy, worth 226 trillion balls of yarn a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 87,532 balls of yarn, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, the children of Kimaeus are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kimaeus's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kimaeus is ranked 24,463^rd in the world and 436^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 84,103.11 Standard Monetary Units.
