The Armed Corporations of Aurora Islands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General John Westmoreland with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 26.973 billion Auroraians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Auroraian economy, worth an astonishing 24,240 trillion golden dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 898,706 golden dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 8,417,647 per year while the poor average 8,086, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government. Crime is totally unknown. Aurora Islands's national animal is the golden hummingbird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aurora Islands is ranked 205,542^nd in the world and 232^nd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.43 Crimes Per Hour.
