The Republic of Aeolic is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.143 billion Aeolicians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Aeolician economy, worth a remarkable 3,791 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 268,109 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aeolic's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aeolic is ranked 3,685^th in the world and 90^th in Home Sweet 9003 for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 139,685 Standard Monetary Units.
