The Queendom of Aelith is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Aether with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.046 billion Aelithians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aelithian economy, worth 618 trillion aelithian dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,745 aelithian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is avowedly secular, the latest drugs are only legally available to private patients, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aelith's national animal is the Elizabee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aetherium.

Aelith is ranked 13,412^th in the world and 328^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,414.9 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
