The Republic of Aelurus is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 705 million Aelurusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Aelurusian economy, worth 22.0 trillion pesos 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 Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 31,188 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aelurus's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Aelurus is ranked 130,323rd in the world and 264th in Refugia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 812.46 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
