The Colony of Project AEGIS is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 418 million Project AEGISians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Project AEGISian economy, worth 19.8 trillion Caps a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,303 Caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Project AEGIS City, and roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Project AEGIS's national animal is the Guardian, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Project AEGIS is ranked 313,029^th in the world and 35^th in Fallout Genesis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
