The Scarlet Red Destruction Tool of Sultur Aurora is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Herus Zareus with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 13.761 billion Sulturans 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sultera. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient of Sultur Aurora economy, worth a remarkable 1,474 trillion Leas 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 black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 107,140 Leas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sultur Aurora's national animal is the Ghost Fire Salamander, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is the Sacred Church of Sultur Aurora.
Sultur Aurora is ranked 126,128th in the world and 4,345th in Balder for Most Extreme, scoring 21.1 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
