The United Imperial Commonwealth of Aeuria is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Aleksander XVII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.873 billion Aeurians, 11.296 billion of whom are zombies, enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Praevalidus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Aeurian economy, worth a remarkable 7,179 trillion Denarii a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 260,423 Denarii, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 770,900 per year while the poor average 69,100, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Anti-riot police are dispatched whenever two elderly ladies gather to complain that prices have increased, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Praevalidus Natural History Museum. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aeuria's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aeuria is ranked 296,197^th in the world and 2^nd in The New Earth for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
