The Republic of Aetulia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Anthony Jackson with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 10.008 billion Aetulians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valyria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Aetulian economy, worth a remarkable 4,144 trillion Drakkars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 414,077 Drakkars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,172,148 per year while the poor average 116,967, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, politicians are often referred to as thesauruses behind their backs, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aetulia's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aetulia is ranked 240,495^th in the world and 9,886^th in The North Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 6.54 Tourists Per Hour.
