The Republic of Aeterna Respublica is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 2.119 billion Aeterna Respublicans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.6%.

The powerhouse Aeterna Respublican economy, worth 234 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 110,712 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 379,829 per year while the poor average 23,684, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aeterna Respublica's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aeterna Respublica is ranked 64,461^st in the world and 33^rd in Mitteleuropa for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 148.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
