The Colony of Aiken State is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 2.371 billion Aiken Stateans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.8%.

The Aiken Statean economy, worth 113 trillion aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 47,752 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is moderate. Aiken State's national animal is the bovina.

Aiken State is ranked 88,257^th in the world and 2^nd in Montpelier for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,168.64 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
