The Armed Corporations of Aurora Islands is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General John Westmoreland with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 34.957 billion Auroraians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Auroraian economy, worth an astonishing 35,830 trillion golden dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 1,024,983 golden dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 9,600,565 per year while the poor average 9,220, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

The government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with General John Westmoreland, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime is totally unknown. Aurora Islands's national animal is the golden hummingbird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aurora Islands is ranked 38^th in the world and 1^st in United Kingdom for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 35,870.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
