The Federal dictatorship of AURELIANA BRITO is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Auron rim with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.627 billion Aurelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of urritonia. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aurelian economy, worth a remarkable 4,754 trillion Starmetals a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 447,385 Starmetals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Model railroad hobbyists have taken to muscling model shipbuilders off their "turf", welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AURELIANA BRITO's national animal is the Dire dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

AURELIANA BRITO is ranked 1,505^th in the world and 6^th in Christians for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 911.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
