The Unicorns of Aeriling is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Unicorn with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.913 billion Unicorns are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unicorn City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient A Unicorn economy, worth a remarkable 3,164 trillion Rainbows a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 245,083 Rainbows, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 715,985 per year while the poor average 66,249, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.

Appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aeriling's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violet.

Aeriling is ranked 283,551^st in the world and 276^th in Nerdlandia for Safest, scoring 3.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
