The Smug and Proud Country of Right aerilia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Smurf with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.796 billion Right aerilians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aerilian Smug Town. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Right aerilian economy, worth 431 trillion Aerilian Smug Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,678 Aerilian Smug Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Right aerilian justice, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, and trade deals are born to the sound of a royal woman's anguished screams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Right aerilia's national animal is the Aerilian Smug Unicorn, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Right aerilia is ranked 45,343rd in the world and 140th in The Funian Puppet Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
