The Commonwealth of Aodhan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 763 million Aodhians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aodhania. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aodhanian economy, worth 70.2 trillion aods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,954 aods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, the Aodhan Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and there's never enough space in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aodhan's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aodhan is ranked 33,520^th in the world and 684^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,294.58 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
