The Federal Republic of Aegypta is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 648 million Aegyptans 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 Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aegyptan economy, worth 82.8 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 127,830 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, Leader's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, and major internet servers have acquired citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aegypta's national animal is the Pregrine Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aegypta is ranked 283,576^th in the world and 3,409^th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -202.58 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
