The Mercantile Federal Republic of Aurora Confederacy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Zafferana Promura with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 28.248 billion Aurorans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lake Hai'lu'kai. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Auroran economy, worth a remarkable 4,423 trillion Northern Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 156,598 Northern Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Auroran Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, immigrant Bigtopians work themselves to the bone to support gold-plated Auroran pensions, the government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Lake Hai'lu'kai. Crime is totally unknown. Aurora Confederacy's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is none existant.

Aurora Confederacy is ranked 297^th in the world and 2^nd in Astyria for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
