The State of Aquilia Isles is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.286 billion Aquilians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Aquilia Islesian economy, worth 847 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,757 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,901 per year while the poor average 2,243, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, voting is voluntary, and Aquilia Isles has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Aquilia Isles's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aquilia Isles is ranked 128,327^th in the world and 4^th in New Western Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 73.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
