The Colony of Aurelyth is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning tern population. The quiet, industrious population of 73 million Aureli enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 18.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Aurelythian economy, worth 3.04 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,672 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, and the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Aurelyth's national animal is the tern.

Aurelyth is ranked 257,588^th in the world and 431^st in Horizon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.9 kickbacks per hour.
