The Allied Planetary Archipelago of Aeterno Tranquillitas is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Denny Rosenfeld with a fair hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.595 billion Aeternos love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novus. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Aeternum economy, worth a remarkable 1,738 trillion Replicates a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 202,242 Replicates, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and people can get away with murder these days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aeterno Tranquillitas's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Sober Pastafarianism.

Aeterno Tranquillitas is ranked 893^rd in the world and 28^th in Forest for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 3,030.86 Tourists Per Hour.
