The Republic of Colony of Aerilon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gaius Baltar with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 3.818 billion Colonials enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaoth. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Colony of Aerilonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,311 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 343,600 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, Colony of Aerilon has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Colony of Aerilon's national animal is the Aries, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lords of Kobol.
Colony of Aerilon is ranked 88,557th in the world and 13th in The United Colonies of Kobol for Most Stationary, with 514.35964997628 days.
