Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Sylvania of Aeoliland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Governor-General Aeolus with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.234 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stromboeti. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Stromboeti Times is sold out, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is totally unknown. Aeoliland's national animal is the Heron, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Arian.

Aeoliland is ranked 199th in Democratic Socialist Assembly and 97,965th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.059 Stalins.
