The Queendom of Aelith is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aether with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.622 billion Aelithians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aelithian economy, worth 546 trillion aelithian dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,840 aelithian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Belief that Aether is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, the government is avowedly secular, and the latest drugs are only legally available to private patients. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aelith's national animal is the Elizabee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aetherium.

Aelith is ranked 248,703^rd in the world and 3,084^th in the South Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.06 kickbacks per hour.
