The Redwood Bureau Division of Aedanica is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Board Chairman Ross with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.125 billion Aedanicans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bright Falls. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aedanican economy, worth 140 trillion Case Fileses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,594 Case Fileses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, thrift shops are closing their doors, taxpayers cringe whenever someone brings up the Former Antagonist Reparations Treaty, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aedanica's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Godshed.

Aedanica is ranked 33,934^th in the world and 20^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
