The Republic of Aeolic is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, fear of technology, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.943 billion Aeolicians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Aeolician economy, worth a remarkable 1,781 trillion 9003s a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,177 9003s, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
Only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, warning signs caution Aeolicians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aeolic's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Aeolic is ranked 126,619th in the world and 1st in accelerant for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 913.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
