The Divine Owl of Aidenfieeld is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Aliand Methinhein with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.737 billion Aidenfieeldians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annville. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Aidenfieeldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,704 trillion Aidenfieeldian Banks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,684 Aidenfieeldian Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Aliand Methinhein is wearing this season, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aidenfieeld's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aidenfieeld is ranked 40,710^th in the world and 921^st in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 175.35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
