The Federation of Aelyria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ezekiel with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 34.768 billion Aelyrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyonesse. The average income tax rate is 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Aelyrian economy, worth an astonishing 13,104 trillion sapphires a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 376,917 sapphires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, Ezekiel spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, people with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, and artists count down the years until Ezekiel is allowed to listen to their music. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aelyria's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Aelyria is ranked 1,031^st in the world and 69^th in Balder for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 234.36 on the Hayek Index.
