The Republic of Aetulia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Anthony Jackson with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, digital currency, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.392 billion Aetulians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valyria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Aetulian economy, worth a remarkable 3,622 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 extensive. Average income is an amazing 385,748 Drakkars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,050,423 per year while the poor average 11,898, a ratio of 256 to 1.

Savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks, Valyria's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, the Treasury and Finance Ministry have been outsourced, and a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Aetulia remains pure. 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 342^nd in the world and 22^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 95,322.84 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
