The Community of Aequus is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Trustees Of Aequus with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 760 million Aequusians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zephyr. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aequusian economy, worth 60.7 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,813 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aequus's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aequus is ranked 281,363^rd in the world and 295^th in Wintreath for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
