The Progress-driven Collective of Airengard is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Guide Airen Slipper with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.606 billion Airengardin enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argentia. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Airengardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,250 trillion argens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,396 argens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and "High Guide Airen Slipper got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Airengard's national animal is the pacifican phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Concordia Hominum.

Airengard is ranked 47,643^rd in the world and 784^th in the Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,576.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
