The Bardic Lorekeepers of Aethelia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by JEM with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.36 billion Aethelians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luna. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Aethelian economy, worth an astonishing 10,189 trillion newtons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 335,625 newtons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, escalators are avoided at all costs, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is totally unknown. Aethelia's national animal is the aurora, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Science.

Aethelia is ranked 291st in the world and 4th in Gay for Most Cultured, scoring 590 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
