The Dictatorship of Aethas is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Great leader Zyy with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.604 billion Aeethasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gravesfield. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aethasian economy, worth 150 trillion Aeethasian Reais a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 94,112 Aeethasian Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aethas's national animal is the black fur wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Aethas is ranked 89,833^rd in the world and 842^nd in Europe for Safest, scoring 86.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
