The Resurgent Republic of Aertemedia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Triaere lyrae Ashaenae with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.434 billion Aertemedians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ālténā. The average income tax rate is 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aertemedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,461 trillion Lanariis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,685 Lanariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aertemedia's national animal is the Vanorah Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aertemedia is ranked 25,604^th in the world and 22^nd in International Democratic Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
