“Pretty and strong like diamonds”

The Shining Throne of Aetherias Viasce is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Mother of Diamonds with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.883 billion Aetherias Viasceans 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DiViasce. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aetherias Viascean economy, worth 218 trillion diamonds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 75,879 diamonds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aetherias Viasce's national animal is the diamond dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Oracles of Diamonds.

Aetherias Viasce is ranked 40,863^rd in the world and 1,481^st in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 14,090.32 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
