The Republic of Eiauo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexander Graham Bell with a fair hand, and notable for its burgeoning dove population. The democratic population of 11.623 billion Eiauoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Eiauoan economy, worth 340 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,281 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
The fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, and superfoods are often seen as supervillains. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eiauo's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Neopaganism.
Eiauo is ranked 194,964th in the world and 2nd in Alpheratz for Most Primitive, scoring -79.06 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
