The Free Haven of Aerika is a huge, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 650 million Aerikans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birchville. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Aerikan economy, worth 66.5 trillion bits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,299 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Ritual mummification is making a comeback, facial disfigurement is a leading cause of supervillainy, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aerika's national animal is the dire carebear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Aerika is ranked 18,095th in the world and 746th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 296.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
