The Commonwealth of Aodhan is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 792 million Aodhians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aodhania. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aodhanian economy, worth 71.2 trillion aods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,945 aods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, the Aodhan Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and there's never enough space in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aodhan's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aodhan is ranked 10,048^th in the world and 293^rd in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.65 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
