The Imperial Socio-Cybersynacy of Aaecilia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Nautilus VIII with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.564 billion Aaecilians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ignis Centra. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Aaecilian economy, worth a remarkable 7,076 trillion Imperial Notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 328,160 Imperial Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aaecilia's national animal is the Aecilian Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aaecilia is ranked 314,078^th in the world and 12,993^rd in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -13.93 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
