The Supreme Confederacy of The Blazing Aura is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Thorne II with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.89 billion Aurans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wightvian. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The very strong Aurian economy, worth a remarkable 3,575 trillion Thingymajigs a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,129 Thingymajigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Emperor Thorne II's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, and it's all white elephants on parade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Blazing Aura's national animal is the Eagleas, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Aura.

The Blazing Aura is ranked 322,807^th in the world and 22^nd in The Commonwealth Society for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -10.75 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
