The Free and Independent State of AuroraEquilibrada is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by James o Maníaco with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The quiet, industrious population of 3.461 billion Pacifics are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portus Aurorae. The average income tax rate is 47.5%.

The all-consuming Pacific economy, worth 316 trillion ÆONs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,512 ÆONs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors are in shock as hospitals go into cardiac arrest, snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, and potatoes are known for their lead aftertaste. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AuroraEquilibrada's national animal is the Antarctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

AuroraEquilibrada is ranked 221,554^th in the world and 13^th in Brasil1 for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
