The United Kingdom of Aetsveld-Aalstad is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.676 billion Aetsveld-Aalstedelingens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aalstad-stad. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Aetsveld-Aalstadian economy, worth 133 trillion klinkels a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,697 klinkels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and Leader's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aetsveld-Aalstad's national animal is the Aetsvelder-Lionmouthbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Aetsveld-Aalstad is ranked 237,419th in the world and 444th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -18.08 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
