The Philosopher Kings of The Rising Aura is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Aaron Aurelius with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 25.374 billion Aureates enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarath. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aureate economy, worth a remarkable 4,225 trillion Bahrs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,548 Bahrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aureate diplomacy is by the book, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, students do more community service than homework, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Rising Aura's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Somethingism.

The Rising Aura is ranked 8,918^th in the world and 2^nd in Sapientia for Safest, scoring 122.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
