The Extreme Dictatorship of Aurorai is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Marina Ida with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.143 billion Auroraians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belfast. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Auroraian economy, worth 73.6 trillion Aurorai Bais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,427 Aurorai Bais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Belfast Times is sold out, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurorai's national animal is the squid and its national religion is Christanity.

Aurorai is ranked 238,490^th in the world and 12,556^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.14 billion capita.
