The Colony of Aeolus is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Legate Wendy Sinclair with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.712 billion Aeolusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aeolia. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The Aeolusian economy, worth 161 trillion denaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 59,519 denaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Legate Wendy Sinclair has just been declared ruler of Aeolus in an international press conference, students abandon classrooms for online education, surveillance cameras are banned, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aeolus's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Tellurism.

Aeolus is ranked 294,078^th in the world and 3^rd in Samoa for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
