The Queendom of Aes Sedai is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lin Woo with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.245 billion Aes Sedaians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, with Environment, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fennbirn. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aes Sedaian economy, worth 224 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,890 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Aes Sedai" at foreigners, and male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aes Sedai's national animal is the Ceffyl dwr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aes Sedai is ranked 28,793^rd in the world and 1,618^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 109.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
