The League of Aternos is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ecclesia of Aternos with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 3.904 billion Aternosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aternos. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Aternosian economy, worth 105 trillion colpeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,127 colpeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Aternos Times is sold out, Aternos has designated Aternos as its capital city, the Federal Council of Aternos has been announced as the new Head of State, and Aternosian Folk Religion has been named as Aternos's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aternos's national animal is the minotaurs, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aternosian Folk Religion.

Aternos is ranked 98,889^th in the world and 1^st in Renascor for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 34.08 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
