The Anarchy of Aelythium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Grigorios with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed population of 14.383 billion Aelythians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chrysos. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aelythian economy, worth 635 trillion asímós a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 44,173 asímós, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, more and more students are taking up a career in medicine, Grigorios has just been declared ruler of Aelythium in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Aelythium's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aelythium's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aelythium is ranked 154,213^th in the world and 45^th in Arkonos for Most Patriotic, with 8.62 flags saluted per person per day.
