The Republic of Aequalitass is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.727 billion Aequalitassians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levatura. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aequalitassian economy, worth 598 trillion dollars 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 Tourism. Average income is 88,994 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aequalitass's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aequalitass is ranked 25,283rd in the world and 1,802nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
