The Redwood Bureau Division of Aedanica is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Board Chairman Ross with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 865 million Aedanicans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bright Falls. The average income tax rate is 84.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aedanican economy, worth 100 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 116,233 Imperial Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The road to capitalism has proved an epic drama of adventure and exploration, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aedanica's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aedanica is ranked 127,915^th in the world and 33^rd in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Extreme, scoring 20.91 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
