The Commonwealth of Aureliaria is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 353 million Aureliarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aureliarian economy, worth 36.2 trillion Aureums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 102,577 Aureums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is raising the stakes on mental health to beat the odds of addiction, cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and board shorts have replaced board rooms. Crime is totally unknown. Aureliaria's national animal is the Golden Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aureliaria is ranked 158,229^th in the world and 591^st in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 822.11 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
