The A of A of Aerillla is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King A with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.743 billion Letters are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.2%.

The frighteningly efficient A Letter economy, worth a remarkable 2,999 trillion Letters 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 235,356 Letters, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, Letters incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and the election for King A's office's janitor is heating up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aerillla's national animal is the Ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violet.

Aerillla is ranked 32,993rd in the world and 7th in Nerdlandia for Largest Populations, with 12.7 billion capita.
