The Supreme Confederacy of The Blazing Aura is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Thorne II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.924 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 96.5%.

The thriving Aurian economy, worth a remarkable 3,188 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 114,181 Thingymajigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sanitised and dull music festivals of The Blazing Aura are famed for their reasonable volume levels, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, the media only bothers polling the three most exclusive country clubs in the nation, and gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up. 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 210,669^th in the world and 23^rd in The Commonwealth Society for Nudest, with 105 cheeks per square mile.
