The Kingdom of Aerinos is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Joseph Shi with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.531 billion Aerinosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldmoor. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aerinosian economy, worth 561 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,462 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

No one born in Aerinos can fix a leaky faucet, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Aerinosian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aerinos's national animal is the Grey wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Aerinos is ranked 15,081^st in the world and 634^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
