The Unicorns have taken over of Aerilia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Purple Unicorn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.74 billion Aerilians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unicorn City. The average income tax rate is 18.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Aerilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,928 trillion Hoofs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 249,146 Hoofs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, and supervisors in Aerilia commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Aerilia's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violet.

Aerilia is ranked 8,680^th in the world and 266^th in The North Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 1,928 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
