The Armed Corporations of Aurora Islands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General John Westmoreland with an even hand, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 34.992 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 35,877 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 1,025,304 golden dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 9,603,576 per year while the poor average 9,223, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, titles of nobility are packaged with Auroraian citizenship in invite-only auctions, and subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes. 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 Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 51,323.77 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
