The Matriarchy of Aeljae is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Sasha Avina von Aeljae with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.088 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, 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 3,702 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 204,691 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's always a Bigtopian willing to eat Sasha Avina von Aeljae's table scraps, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime is totally unknown. Aeljae's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aeljae is ranked 5,323^rd in the world and 119^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 153 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
