The Empire of Aequipo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Lakia with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.737 billion aequis 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanmifre. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient aequi economy, worth 161 trillion Wanaris a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 93,097 Wanaris, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 263,907 per year while the poor average 26,246, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Empress Lakia's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, the tax department is having withdrawal symptoms, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aequipo's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Aequipo is ranked 63,204^th in the world and 1^st in O Brasil for Most Patriotic, with 26.28 flags saluted per person per day.
