The Ascendant Stellar Hierarchy of Auracexia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Séterrhÿana Ravÿnna-Asträeva with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.964 billion Aoraqet'yari hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, 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 Ser'khetyeva — Auracexia Prime. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aoraqet'yari economy, worth a remarkable 4,618 trillion Aoraqet'yari Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,299 Aoraqet'yari Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping, the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports, and there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Auracexia's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Aoraqetism.

Auracexia is ranked 261,474^th in the world and 42^nd in The Local Cluster for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,504.9 Standard Monetary Units.
