The United Provinces of Aeolist is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Cooper Diesel with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 10.758 billion Aeolistites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telic. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aeolistiti economy, worth a remarkable 2,054 trillion Mernas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 190,942 Mernas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Aeolist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aeolist's national animal is the Aeolistite Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Aeolist is ranked 934^th in the world and 124^th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 515.26 Bank.
