The A of A of Aerilla is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King A with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.155 billion Letters 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A City. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient A Letter economy, worth a remarkable 4,234 trillion Letters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 279,386 Letters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, a speech a day keeps climate change away, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading A Letter justice, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aerilla's national animal is the Alpaca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violet.

Aerilla is ranked 20,143rd in the world and 128th in Nerdlandia for Largest Governments, scoring 30.45 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
