The Matriarchy of Aeljae is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sasha Avina von Aeljae with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.957 billion Aeljaeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elja. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aeljaean economy, worth a remarkable 2,648 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 204,398 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, Sasha Avina von Aeljae is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie. Crime is totally unknown. Aeljae's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aeljae is ranked 222,469^th in the world and 3,872^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
