The Federation of Aelyria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ezekiel with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 35.372 billion Aelyrians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyonesse. The average income tax rate is 2.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aelyrian economy, worth an astonishing 13,379 trillion sapphires a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 378,244 sapphires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Aelyrians, and civil engineers are undermining sinkholes. 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 300^th in the world and 10^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 137.1 average smiles per day.
