The Commonwealth of Aelstun Founder is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.319 billion Aelstun Founderians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Aelstun Founderian economy, worth 394 trillion denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 62,437 denarii, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aelstun Founder's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Aelstun Founder is ranked 40,950^th in the world and 2^nd in Aelstun for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 57,317.94 Standard Monetary Units.
