The Kingdom of The offshore Aage Islands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Karita Aanes with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.157 billion Aageans 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, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skeie. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Aagean economy, worth 108 trillion Aagean Chronos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,634 Aagean Chronos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 291,017 per year while the poor average 23,175, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, the dartboard at the Aagean Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Karita Aanes's face, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The offshore Aage Islands's national animal is the Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The offshore Aage Islands is ranked 6,169th in the world and 37th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,893.82 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
