The Nightlight of Aether inc is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Arthar - Shin hye sun with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.511 billion Aereans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxea. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aeresian economy, worth 595 trillion Aithres 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 91,536 Aithres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has enacted freedom of information, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, and the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aether inc's national animal is the Red Feathered Peacock, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is 2d worshipper.

Aether inc is ranked 228,380th in the world and 263rd in Conch Kingdom for Most Stationary, with 25.84299040492 days.
