The Free Land of Kimaeus is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Tomas Quintal with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.595 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, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of James. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aeusian economy, worth 239 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 92,049 balls of yarn, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats miss flights while wandering James Airport's endless art maze, Aeusians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, and the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots. 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 10,000^th in the world and 169^th in the South Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
