The Principality of Aeritania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Iskander var Kelos with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.927 billion Aeritanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viira. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aeritanian economy, worth 757 trillion azoths a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,507 azoths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, Iskander var Kelos has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, and a major religion has been named as Aeritania's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aeritania's national animal is the seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aeritania is ranked 278,408^th in the world and 6,638^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.86 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
